That's very true. Especially when you are fighting in the country where the terrorists (maybe not the best term here) are part of the indigenous people. But we never learn. These kinds of wars have a 99% failure rate. There are three examples from recent history we should have learned from and didn't. The Japanese in China, Vietnam and the Russians in Afghanistan. In all of history there are hundreds of examples of interdiction failures, many are taught to the military but it appears that no one pays any attention.

Let's say a hurricane hits Florida next year. Here will be the headline: FEMA slow to respond due to budget cuts. Here will be KU's rewrite: Obama slashes FEMA budget, tells Floridians to eat it

Or perhaps Egypt's new rules will start cracking down on their citizens and menacing Israel. KU's write up will be: Obama-backed Egyptian government hates Israel.


The funny thing is, in the KU troll universe Obama is simultaneously an evil overlord athiest muslim anti-Christ, a rabid follower of an insane bigoted Christian preacher, and a blithering incompetent who cannot run a lemonade stand. It never occurs to such folks that some ofthese horrible qualities are mutually exclusive.

Sounds like a problem that would've solved itself. Or maybe two problems.

Which known combatants (on the other side) did Hitler let go?
