We can shoot down targets from 100 miles away better than anyone ever in history. What flummoxes us these days is hidden enemies yelling LALALALALA before the pull the plug on their homemade bombs -- and these sorts of military manuevers don't really get us combat ready for that. I'm just not a fan of bread & circus of any sort.

We took on the mission in the Balkans in order to learn from the Brits on how to conduct proper urban operations. They have years of experience keeping the Irish in line, and always had a outfit in the Balkans working with US troops to teach, coach, mentor.
That entire TCM has failed...Iran is rattling their nuclear saber...NK has unleashed it's nuclear saber, and openly denied that the torpedo fired from one of its subs and traced by two other military nations did not hit and sink the SK patrol boat... Egypt has allowed free airspace for a out and in bound flight of special aircraft from and to Israel...And we are bickering about a tea party, a mosque, and who's at fault for the oil spill. I hope you know of a good basket weaver.
