To give an example. The Prez says, "take that hill."

The Army says "yessir," and drops a Battalion of Troopers in.

The Navy says, "yessir," and fires off a group of missiles at it.

The Marines say, "yessir," and sends a squadron of choppers in loaded with Marines

The Air Force says "yessir" and eliminates the hill with a nuke.

The Prez then says, "I want a joint operation."

The DOD says "yessir" and does a "Grenada" op.

We need to stop subjecting our military to political whims every 4 years......
