Bag's Rants

Is the message getting through?

Not long ago a lot of people were talking about Afghanistan and Iraq regarding the similarity with Vietnam. The politicians were explaining how different it would be but here we are writing articles like this about rebels disappearing when the military gets there and reappearing after they go. With the invaders, us, not being able to tell the difference between a freedom fighter, or terrorist as we like to call them, and civilians so we destroy civilians homes and their livelihoods and in the process convert them into freedom fighters/terrorists. At the time losing few soldiers against the enemies hundred but they still never seem to stop until in the end we get fed up with losing our soldiers.

Now we have a new article talking about it like it is a new thing. Just invented by the bogey men and how this is so difficult for us but we won't give up. At least not until every terrorist is killed. The rate we are going on we might be finished in 2106. Somehow I think politics will set in again. The freedom fighters, sorry terrorists, will win again and confirm the tactics they are using on us work.

Will we ever learn?
