The losses may become unbearable
The Fort Bragg address with the backdrop of American troops compared to landing on an aircraft carrier in a pilot jumpsuit was sort of a low key fluff. It takes a little fluff and maybe more when the most powerful leader in the free world breaks the sovereignty of another nation under a dictatorship and tries to graft democratic pieces to form a democracy among different factions with different philosophies.
Not only did he break a different world, he opened a floodgate and cleared a ground for the real elusive enemy to pass through and take a stand.
Some of us know that patriotism is not rallying around a leader that misled his country. Patriotism is a strong belief, will, and love for the values of a country. In this country that strong belief and values are all part of a mature democracy that did not happen over night. This country grew into it.
The pre-emptive strike and invasion of Iraq to the world was not the America they knew. It is no secret that many in the world think America is a captive of an administration that had an agenda.
After being exposed to certain truths before and after the invasion, the questions under the surface, contrary to a military philosophy; should we cut our losses, and put the blame where it belongs? Some of us know when the reality sets in that Iraq is indeed a quagmire, the losses may become unbearable.
