sometimes when you fuck something up so bad, you gotta have the balls to say screw it, and walk away.
And maybe in the future, start over the right way
you cant build a house on a terrible foundation, and keep building, when the builders say demolish and start over
I have to say - what the heck to YOU know about modern warfare? What the heck makes you think we're using antiquated tactics? Here's what i think you did - you heard some political HACK on the TV use that '20th century tactics' bullshit and decided to use it online.
You have NO IDEA of the tactics the Army is using when coping with their enemy. You may have a cursory knowledge based on free open sources, but until you've been there, or been in, or are associated with the Army, don't pretend you know better than even a Private, much less the GENERAL officers and Senior Civilians who tell the army how to fight, okay?
You don't LIKE the "huge amounts of ground troops" being there eh? Newsflash, Zartan, they don't like being there either. But what number would make you comfortable? What processes would you use to determine an amount of troop strength you like?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
