Combat Infantryman/Dogface Leveque Supports President Obama: Remember Obama Inherited this Mess

The CHEAP WAR philosophy of Rumsfeld was a dreadful mistake 8 years ago. It has already robbed our WARRIOR CLASS – Army and Marines – a dreadful cost in wounded, death and treasure.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - My greatest support is for my fellow Army Dogfaces and Marine Grunts. We don’t ask to go to war to kill or be killed but we go trying to ignore the questionable politics of why we are there.

From my frontline foxhole I saw only two options: Number One: to defeat the enemy and then GO HOME; the second option is/was not even real nor realistic. The second option is to tuck our tails between our legs and have the enemy shooting at our backs as we try to retreat into defeat. The losses would be horrific.

We cannot just up and leave. The Jihadist enemy have no concern for their own deaths (after all they will go to heaven with 40 virgins). They have even less concern for our deaths – the more the better.

Battle strategy for victory is simple – overwhelming force in men and guns is absolutely necessary. For our battle warriors in Iraq and Afghanistan we/they have almost never had such strength. The original success in Iraq was because those ill-equipped fighters did not want to be fighting and wanted to live in the face of overwhelming lethal force.

The situation in Afghanistan is far different. For whatever reason we have NEVER had enough Infantry boots on the ground and rifles on the shoulder to make more than a dent on the brainwashed Jihadists who were seeking a martyrs death.

There is only ONE way to fight these brainwashed hopeful MARTYRS. That is overwhelming force. The two wars at once concept (Iraq and Afghanistan) ON THE CHEAP only sacrificed thousands of wounded and dead for NO real advantage. We’ve been there 8 years and we are in worse shape now than when we started.

The CHEAP WAR philosophy of Rumsfeld was a dreadful mistake 8 years ago. It has already robbed our WARRIOR CLASS – Army and Marines – a dreadful cost in wounded, death and treasure.

Let us hope it’s not too late. Our enemy Osama bin Laden has been able to recruit brainwashed Jihadists for 8 years from all over the world. They seek death! We must give them what they want. Then we can go home.

THIS IS OUR ONLY SENSIBLE OPTION!
