Well, if you do not know what to do, what are you saying?

As a democracy with a civilian commander in chief we the people have every right to question our military.

We figured out Viet Nam was nuts and protested it for years. It turns out we were right and the military was wrong.

The military was also wrong about Iraq and has failed in Afghanistan after 8 years.

So why would anyone listen to them?

Many top thinkers say get the hell out including the ambassador to Afghanistan, a general, who used to be MCCrystal's boss.
