Yawn.
I was an Officer in the Armed forces; I served in the first Gulf War (with the 2nd ACR) and we were the first in Bosnia in 1995 (1/4 Cav) while you French had your thumbs up your asses - so save the lecture and patronizing, been there, done that. I don't need a lesson in modern warfighting least of all from you. I know about sacrifice and I know BS when I see it. The current mission has merde all over it.
We will win the "war on terror" just like we won the "war on drugs", the "war on poverty" etc As Sun Tzu succintly put it; "know thy enemy" - if the enemy is terror then you better dig in 'cause terror is a strategy in itself as old as combat.

LOL actually i'm a tax compliance attorney, do you know what that is DF? If you do it would come as no surprise that I work on both sides of the border. In case you didn't know it business is brisk between the US and our largest trading partner - Canada, and I have to take care of all my clients - both American and Canadian. Like every free market capitalist I appreciate free trade and I hate wasting my time.
Bon chance!
