Surrender is an Ugly Word
The Greatest Generation Should be Ashamed of Us Today
America No Longer Has the WILL to WIN!
by J. D. Longstreet
As I considered President Obama’s words concerning the war in Afghanistan a few days ago, I found myself embarrassed by them. To realize Obama had no intention of ‘winning” a war in Afghanistan, and that the word victory was never used in his entire speech, it became clear to me that Obama was only concerned with “ending” the war in Afghanistan — not winning it.
Now, let’s be clear about something. The United States could/can win a war in Afghanistan. The United States could/can win a war anywhere it chose/chooses.
Just nuke ‘em.
No, I am NOT KIDDING. Had we nuked the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan when we were sure Osama bin Laudin was hiding there, we would have been finished with the never ending search for him and we would have sent a powerful message to our enemies — everywhere — to attack the US is to bring unimaginable death and destruction down on the attackers and their loved ones. The price is not worth it.
The Commander-in-Chief could have ordered it done — and — in my opinion, SHOULD have ordered it done. We had the means and the wherewithal to do it. What we did not have was THE WILL!

At what point did victory against our enemies become a bad thing? I must have missed that memo.
It was a different time in American history.. A more innocent time, a time when Americans left others alone but kicked ass when they had to…
If Pearl Harbor happened today, we’d surrender, well, Obama would…
Hmmm…. I don’t suppose we could go back in time and stick his sorry ass on the USS Arizona, could we? I’ve no doubt that would save us a lot of the coming grief with him in the WH.
