You raise an excellent point, and one I have been making for months. Ever since Harry Truman fired Douglas MacArthur in 1951, for wanting to chase the Chinese back to Manchuria, civilian rule has been the rule of order in the US. It was then that the US stopped winning wars.
Civilian leaders don't understand the objectives of war. During WWII, the objective was unconditional surrender. Once the civilian government took over, the objective was to fight towards a cease fire or treaty, but not to win. This theory puts our troops in great danger and caused unnecessary casualties, because the civilian government refused to use the resources we had available, against an inferior enemy.
By doing this, the civilian government evened the playing field and tilted it in favor of the enemy. He didn't care about military casualties, his decisions were often dictated by surveys and political opposition. How sad is that! Most importantly, we stopped winning wars!
Somebody has got to tell these boneheads, we have the resources, now use them!

it's not the government, but the civilian thats tied military hand. people want military to be more civilized. For what? war itself isn't civilized!
it's easy for civilian to critize what the military should do and not in the battlefield, because they're not the one who fight with the risk of their lives to defend the country.
I wonder what will those "civilized people" say if it is them who'r placed in the ground zero.

As their eyes meet, it somewhat is clean that Jesus knows and recommend the only valid answer, "Verily I say unto you, enable us to the two stroll jointly unburdened and be winners". And Batman can experience a growing to be enlightenment as he ends the combat with a dramatic drop his utility belt. for sure, Jesus might have given him extremely a whack then, yet he does not.

Are you suggesting that we give each soldier a nuke and let them do as the please? There has to be structure, and what we do with our military is the maximum that we can do with our structure.
