Warning Against Wars Like Iraq and Afghanistan

By THOM SHANKER

WEST POINT, N.Y. - Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates bluntly told an
audience of West Point cadets on Friday that it would be unwise for
the United States to ever fight another war like Iraq or Afghanistan,
and that the chances of carrying out a change of government in that
fashion again were slim.


War makes winners stronger and losers weaker. Countries that expend large amounts of blood and treasure AND fail to win wars they initiate are easy pickings.

We are dumber than a fence post if we don't prepare to defend our own homeland.
