Fifteen Years of Forever Wars
(But, evidently, it is indeed endless. Secretary Rumsfeld defined success in this war as not creating more terrorists than we kill. That seems a fair standard. But, by this criterion, what we have done is clearly counterproductive.)
At this very moment we are protecting a hoard of ISIS and other US terrorist affiliates on the border of Syria to regroup and rebuild.
(Over 40 percent of our mounting liabilities are to foreigners, some of whom we have just designated as adversaries, i.e. candidates to become enemies. Our strategy for paying off our twenty-plus trillion dollar debt consists of endless credit rollovers. These risk inflation that will push up borrowing costs and advance the inevitable day of financial reckoning for our country.)
You'd think "America first" would have put an end to that climbing illegal war debt. But that's another story. ummm, I mean lie.
( Second, wars whose objectives cannot be concisely stated are, by definition, purposeless. They squander rather than validate the sacrifices of the troops we commit to them.)
Why aren't their families screaming!?!
