Is three wars behind.

Information warfare, asymmetric warfare, economic warfare are what we will face moving forward. That is also one reason why USAID was so important.

We lost the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War because the end results were, arguably, worse to much worse than what existed prior to our military getting involved. Discussions can be held regarding the how and why and should have been in those wars but we have the outcomes that we have.

We don’t need “warriors” or more specifically machismo. We need intelligent people, gay or straight, men or women, that are capable of intelligent analysis, quick decision making and able to understand both the scenario before them and the underlying processes.

Kegsbreath and the Republican Party do not get it. Unfortunately, too many MAGAts do not either.
