WHY IS AMERICA LOSING?

As hard as our government tries, or says they are trying, the Good Ole USA is losing.

Let’s take the ‘War of Terror’, what is wrong with it? People in general hate war, I hate war, but it has been a necessary evil since biblical times. Whether it’s been for gain of territory, because of political or ideological differences, revolutionary for good or evil, or for the preservation of freedom; war has happened and will continue to happen.

War is not pleasant, it’s not meant to be pleasant; if it was it would be call badminton or croquet, baseball or sex. The problem with America at war is that the government makes it political, look at Vietnam, we called it a police action to make it more appealing. 50,000 plus lives later, it was one of the bloodiest most demoralizing non-wars ever. The U.S. Government makes sure politicians run the wars, which result in the U.S. losing sight of the goal, which is to win. Victory must be decisive. If we are going to be ‘Offensive’, be on the offense. If we are going to win, we must kick ass the first time around. If we are going to lead a coalition, lead it to win. If the cause is just, there is great glory in winning and a boosting of morale for all.

The U.S. has always been a nation that kicked ass, from the Revolutionary War, up to WW II. General Douglas MacArthur wanted to win in Korea, but the politicians became involved and so our will to win has diminished since. Our past military dominance has been viewed as Imperialistic and warmongering. The one exception to pols running a war was during the Reagan years and the invasion of Grenada. Reagan said he didn’t like the situation there, told his military brass to figure it out and win, and that’s what they did, in one day.

The U.S. has grown to the lone Super Power, but that is waning fast. The USA use to be feared, loved, hated and most importantly respected. We may kick your butt if you mess with us, but we will try to help make you better after we do.

This indecisiveness in how we conduct our wars is a direct reflection on how as a government we conduct our day to day business. The government says they have all the answers, put us in debt up to our unborn great grandchildren’s ears and their solution is not working. Our government is to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and so on. The things that made us great are going away fast. The people that made us a great nation, the melting pot of the world are no more. We look to an entity, the Great God in Washington to save us from ourselves; and in their quest for ultimate power are destroying the very fabric of their creation…. Us.
