They still cling to the delusion that they could have "won" in Vietnam.

They want to use THIS war to try to prove that.

They never wanted you to be president.

And they know that escalating and bringing in more troops will do unto you what it did
unto LBJ: destroy you and put someone who will mindlessly obey them into power.

The history tells the truth.

Don't let them use this to take you down.

Bring the troops home. NOW.

Save yourself and save the country from what the military class is trying to do.

LOVING IT! They don't want the cash cow that is Afghanistan to shut down.

We probably need more troops to protect the civilian contractors who presently outnumber the military at this time. :crazy:

It was also about trying to find a way of not using the old "Military-Industrial Complex" term.
