Dissent Inside Military Grows As Morale Continues To Drop

First define winning.. If it's democracy I agree it's a joke and lost cause. Muslims follow God's law and even if you get a democracy perse, it won't be something we want at all, it'll look a lot more like Hammas in Palestine where they were allowed to pick their own, or Algeria where fundis took over...last thing we want in ME is democracy, Osama wins in every country.

Is winning to stop the killing? Good luck with that - Muslims/Arabs understand the rules winning in warfare I talked about - There are the victors and the vanquished end of story. Fighting will continue until one side unconditionally surrenders all power, rights, claims and monies or die.

You're absolutely right we entered an unwindable war with above objectives. Yet another reason to oppose this war since it has no end game. I was only saying how to win in a absolute total war sense not nation building - which is really impossible.

To start, please point to where I said that you said morale was low. Thanks 🙂

What is the exact reason that you continue to doubt real soldiers' testimony to their morale? datalink7 has said in no uncertain terms that some of his soldiers are against the war and I will add that many of mine were as well. Thus, what more would you have to gain politically in us having low morale?

So where exactly? Please tell me you understand how question marks work...

What is much more incredible to me is that you see this as proof of me saying that you say soldiers have low morale, yet you don't see:

What are you trying to prove? You obviously implied I would have something to gain politcally in you having low morale.

Now your acting like an idiot, so I suppose you will trying to say that I think all soldiers are idiots.

I don't, but I'm begining to wonder?? :laugh:

No more than you obviously implied the soldiers in here are brainwashed. But feel free to keep dancing. You're just digging yourself deeper and deeper.

Where is the quote where I said the soldiers are brainwashed? Please point it out. I'm not one of your grunts and I don't take orders very well, so I guess I can dig this imaginary hole of yours as deep as I want.

Show me your logic.

You know what your guys problem is? Your mistaking "attitude" as "morale" and you can't stand it that I don't have what you consider to be a "proper" attitude like a good soldier.

Wow, now you're really putting words in our mouths.

It's too bad that English doesn't have a corresponding ser and estar form of "are." Your brain seems too feeble to understand that being brainwashed can refer to someone brainwashed for one thread, one week, or one lifetime.

Wow, you really put me in my place.


Sarcastic as your lack of response came out, that lack still tells me you know you're beaten.

It's been a pleasure 😉

Dream on Junior.

Right. You're acting like a piece of shit.

Oops, note that I just said you're acting like one so it doesn't count 😉

And by "you guys," you were absolutely referring to all of the soldiers arguing with you in this thread.

short-term memory problems perhaps?

Ahh, Mr. Military Intelligence propagandist. You still here spreading your version/reality of the war? What's a'matter, you didn't get enough of it at the office today?

I'd think somebody as important as you must be would have better things to do. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
ill read that as "I know you just pwned me with my own ignorance, but my ego wont let me admit it - so I'll just continue to insult your person and service."

good game!

No. He'll also insult your grammar.

That's how you can tell someone really has a meaningful argument 😉

Is it the disability that prevents you from stooping so low? Because from where I'm sitting I don't think anybody could stoop much lower. Much not be too bad of a disability, except perhaps the mental part.

Is there a point to this other then to show how juvenile you so called soldiers can be? Your really making your point.... that is if your point is to show how you take offense with anybody who dares disagree with you. Big tough guys, ohhhhh.

It was fun b0mberbutt but I got things to do. :lips:

All I see is a soldier and civillian petty argueing in here with both losing.

Kind of like both Vietnam and Iraq.

Anyone have an answer of what finally brought our troops back from Vietnam?

I'm sure that will be similar for how we get our guys back from Iraq.

Thanks

You haven't presented any argument that shows you disagree with anything but my grammar.

And I certainly don't think I'm tough for arguing on an internet forum. Veterans don't really have the internal struggle of feeling they have to prove their toughness.
 
1EZduzit and b0mbrman

Get back on topic and get rid of the nested quoting.

Otherwise the thread will be locked and you two can have a chance to cool down.

Thanks

Anti-war Eugene McCarthy's "Clean for Gene" canvassers gave him a strong showing in the early Democratic primary of New Hampshire in 1968. This scared incumbent Democratic president Lyndon B. Johnson who ordered Henry Kissinger to start work on the Paris Peace Accords. The same public discontent would eventually force Richard Nixon to complete the accords which, among other things, pulled out US troops.

On the ground, there wasn't much in the way of ensuring a stable government was in place, although Nixon personally promised South Vietnamese leaders that he would send them enough aid to continue fighting. Of course, his personal clout went to naught when Watergate happened, so they didn't even get that.

[Edit] So short answer: public pressure on the President

Are you referring to before or after the politicians completely tied the hands of our fighting forces in Vietnam? Before or after some political idiot drew a line in the dirt and called it a DMZ? Before or after another political idiot pointed at a map and said "Please ignore the enemy when they go into Laos or Cambodia"?

The same problems are occurring today. If we gave our Generals free reign, the insurgent problem would have ended before it had even begun. But the media, the PC Police, and the politicians will never let that happen...

sad that.
