You may post any one of my posts to prove any "anti-American" sentiment on my part.
And I must point out what crap it is to accuse someone with such a silly, facile, childish, and fascistic term.
To say someone is "anti-American" only shows the accuser to be so fanatically opposed to any other opinion they must attack them.
Grow up.
But the most Entertaining one was the one where you claimed Enterprise was promoting fascism because it was, according to you, supporting the fascist philosophy of the American Government. That was entertaining. It didn't leave you with an ounce of creditably but it was entertaining.

These guys at the Strategic Studies Institute of the Army War College are up against the heavy hitters in the article above.
Heavy hitters who, in the past, have actually written policy for previous governments. Particularly the Nixen government.
I find this War College paper to be written by the "students" while the article I posted is coming from the "Masters", people who were direct architects of the Vietnam Conflict. In other words - they are indisputable on this subject.
Uh, Ghoul. The War College paper I cited was written by two of the "Heavy Hitters" in the Guardian article, Jeffrey Record and W. Andrew Terrill.

... yeeeaaaah, hence "good post" Geezer.
I intimated Jeffrey Record and W. Andrew Terrill were not?
EDIT: Oh, I can see where my sentence might make that seem so. My bad.

Sure, fine. But that would still only be your opinion and if you bothered to read that ENT thread you would find others agreed with me.
The point is - just attacking someone because you don't like them or thier opinions is facile.
Get it?

Here is a little item for you lefty, we are winning, I know because I'm in Iraq.
"Diplomacy is utterly useless when there is no force behind it; the diplomat is the servant, not the master of the soldier." THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Welcome to the thread. Please, try to post your opinions instead of ganging up on someone already involved in a long arguement. Thanx.
And if you're in Iraq, you are losing. You lost before you got there, see... that's how I know. Which is the point of the article posted above and I'm greatly pleased to see another US soldier reading this (there are a few others lurking here).
Also, please take care what you post. Remember - your CO is reading this.

Thanks for the lesson in board etiquette however unneeded and unwanted it is. I didn't gang up on anyone, rather I pointed out a major flaw in taking this article seriously.
And if you're in Iraq, you are losing. You lost before you got there, see... that's how I know. Which is the point of the article posted above and I'm greatly pleased to see another US soldier reading this (there are a few others lurking here).
That's how you know? What do you know? You haven't demonstrated any knowledge; rather just cut and pasted someone else’s biased opinions. Now read carefully because I'm going to point out the only real correlation between the Iraq and Vietnam wars. Ho Chi Min and the Iraqi insurgents have the same modus operandi, which is to degrade the American public’s tolerance for the war using soldier’s deaths as their vehicle. The more the American public expresses anti war rhetoric like you posed above the more the insurgents kill soldiers because they think that plan is working. You my friend are their ally in this endeavor, The blood of American soldiers stain your hands, weather you are bright enough to realize that or not.
Also, please take care what you post. Remember - your CO is reading this.
I'll print it out and show it to him, you know about as much about the political leanings of the officers in the USA as you do about the war in Iraq; none.

W Andrew Terrill, professor at the Army War College's strategic studies institute - and the top expert on Iraq there - said: "I don't think that you can kill the insurgency". According to Terrill, the anti-US insurgency, centred in the Sunni triangle, and holding several cities and towns - including Fallujah - is expanding and becoming more capable as a consequence of US policy.
"We have a growing, maturing insurgency group," he told me. "We see larger and more coordinated military attacks. They are getting better and they can self-regenerate. The idea there are x number of insurgents, and that when they're all dead we can get out is wrong. The insurgency has shown an ability to regenerate itself because there are people willing to fill the ranks of those who are killed. The political culture is more hostile to the US presence. The longer we stay, the more they are confirmed in that view."
