insurgency. He understands the spin the military leaders, (not the men,) put on things to make their "mission" seem successful and themselves look competent, he knows that you can't kill enemy men you can't identify, he knows that once an insurgency becomes entrenched it doesn't get better and that the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. Curious how what I hear from you and the left about an entrenched insurgency is completely disconnected from what I hear from the soldiers about an insurgency with very limited popularity, an insurgency that is so obnoxious to what should be its base of support that it gets kicked out of towns like Ramadi in red-on-red battles, an insurgency that is so desperate to stop the elections which even Sunni clerics now support that it has started to kill Sunnis as well as Shia and Kurds in an effort to prevent them. The left is lifting tropes from Vietnam without much regard to what is going on on the ground. If there is fighting, it's proof enough that this is another Vietnam. Seems to be the rule for most of the MSM too, who wouldn't know strategic analysis if it bit them on the ass, so they just sit in their hotel rooms and report body counts.
