Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "This is NOT a football game where you score your points, win the game, and then hit the bar for a cold one and a slap on the back."

That's right. Our boys on the line are playing for keeps. That's why it was near criminal to send them on this hopeless mission based on what amounts to either extreme stupidity or lies to the American public.

Re: "Japan is in Asia.. And we won that one." [In reference to land wars in Asia.]

Evidently you think our war against Japan was fought on "land". So. Do you think that battleships are just like big armored vehicles? Do you think that sailors dig foxholes on carriers?

No wonder you didn't see anything stupid about invading Iraq. The nature of military power is a lot more complicated than you understand.
