Mike and David....perhaps we Americans have had it TOO soft. I mean look at the sacrifices All Americans made in WW2. Because "we " sacrificed ...we haven't had to since then....Point is if we truly had gotten behind a war effort like we did in the 1940's...Viet Nam would have been won about 1971. You remember tjhe "mother of all battles"...The Republican Guard .. Give me a break..THIS Iraqi War and The Afghanistan tjhing would both be over by now.I am not saying we should have ,I'm saying we could have....And without Nukes.But as a nation we have taken a lot for granted. It amazes me how we know that the Persians, Greeks, Romans,Swedes, Brits etc all became complacent and lost their respective Empires, and yet ,here we go...
