The funny thing is that they don't even know they're giving away the golden goose here.

The Roman Warming & Medievil Warming periods were hotter than now.

Long before cars & smokestacks & oil & coal.

Most importantly, you don't have to be Sun Tzu or Von Clauswitz to know it's unwise to run headfirst into a multi-front war when your MIL leadership, materiel, and personnel are all lacking.

That's not even going into the horror show that the security posture of the homeland has become.

It's terrible that we lost troops. My buddy Tully was cut in half by an Iranian-made EFP in Baghdad.

There aren't many that want to see the wholesale destruction of the Iranian regime more than me.

My new book opens with an extremely graphic scene of one of the IRGC planners & financiers meeting his end. I wrote it with a huge grin on my face - several years ago, before it was en vogue to be angry at Iran.

But thousands of dead US troops from allowing ourselves to be goaded into a trap is not the way.

Peace through strength is a thing. Building up the MIL & holding it as a big stick to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who dare mess with our people is a thing.

What we're doing right now is lunacy.
