These systems we're using now and all the training and tech takes 5-10 years to develop.

Nonsense. These systems took a hell of a lot longer than that. Patriot missle technology was developed beginning during the Reagan administration. GPS' origins date to 1973. The first laser guided weapons (PAVE-KNIFE) were deployed in Vietnam. Cruise missile technologies were in existence before (and were used in) the Gulf War. Almost all of the Abrams tanks now in existence were produced before 1993. The list goes on.

It would be very difficult to persuade a knowledgeable person that Clinton's military is fighting this war. Particularly those actually doing the fighting.

Clinton's first major military initiative, however, did provide for more flexibility for gays in the military.

Since I've had you on ignore for a while I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself. Normally, you spew out bullshit without an ounce of support. In this instance, if you wish to reply with a bonafide list of Clinton military accomplishments (other than gays in the military or so-called salary increases) to which the success of this war can be attributed, I'll agree to read every post you make with an open mind for the next 14 days. This is quite a commitment on my part, as doing so would no doubt be intolerable.
