Once upon a time, we somehow ended up in Iraq, for reasons that are completely irrelevant now so let's not even talk about that (except to note that those reasons were GOOD reasons, yes they were, SHUT UP). Everything worked out great, take that hippies. Just as all the experts had predicted on the Sunday morning talk shows, we full-on mission accomplished that war in less than one Friedman Unit after we shock 'n awed 'em. Hooray! The good guys won, the troops came home, and everyone lived happily ever after.
Because annosexuals screaming in terror, shitting pants, and running away are fun to watch on YouTube, but haven't the Iraqi people suffered enough?
There's a very interesting documentary about Sun Tzu's "Art of War" that compares Western military thinking (Chess) to Asian military thinking (Go).
Chess is a war of attrition. In Go it's a disadvantage to have too many pieces (territory) too early in the game. Better to be light and move fast - living off the countryside, like the Viet Cong. And then build your number of pieces at the end, controlling the entire board.

LBJ was a brave fella domestically, but as far as war went, he <i>was</i> the big fool neck deep in the Big Muddy.
here&#039;s the thing world: we&#039;re done, tired, fucked up, drinking red wine.
you need a policeman,
beiing you&#039;re up. have a blast.
We&#039;ve just got to &quot;turn the corner&quot; for the 547th time. Or maybe send over a few more pallets of cash. That will do it!
If we just keep doing the same thing over and over, we&#039;re bound to get a different result -- isn&#039;t that right, Walnuts?

In other words, we&#039;re in deep shit.
I believe that would be a bomber - not a fighter.

I find it a worthwhile comparison.
