So if the sailors aboard the C. Turner Joy hadn't freaked out and imagined that attack in the night, things might have gone rather differently; and the diplomatic option might have still had a chance.
I've noticed that the pundits have not referred very much to our history in guerilla wars, nor have they looked very deeply into Afghan history, both recent and ancient. one new wrinkle for this current quagmire is the feminist push for the West to protect the rights of Afghan women. I sympathize, but it still amounts to dictation by one culture to another as to how they should live. doomed to failure!
very interesting hearing all this stuff from the background going on. i was just 5 to 8 years old when most of this stuff was happening but it does clear up a lot of stuff I wondered about over the years. Its kinda hard to help a country that only says it wants to fight when there people are deserting in droves from the fight. what a freakin mess , no wonder he decided ot to accept the nomination in the next election....
Bill, you've announced you're retiring from the show, but as a country we need to hear from you from time to time to help educate generations that seem to have no interest in fighting for themselves.
Keep up the awesome work!
