Tactical is often a matter of subjectiveness. Just because you call it 
something doesn't mean it is so.

Killed more people than I know? That speaks highly of him I suppose? 
Delightful.

Pssst, you may not have learned this if you military time, but wars and 
battles are not supposed to be about killing people. They are supposed 
to be about accomplishing objectives. Any psycho can kill people. It 
takes much more understanding of tactics and nuance to achieve your 
military objectives.

We've got absolute military superiority in the Middle East. Doesn't seem 
to have done us much good though, does it? That may, just may, be 
because our traditional military tools are not appropriate for the job 
there. Trying to hammer screws and all that. Some people in the military 
seem to recognize this and are actively working to rearrange the 
situation to make the military a more appropriate tool for the sorts of 
conflicts we seem to be getting in to. Publishing a new Counter 
Insurgency manual certainly seems like a good step in that direction and 
I hope it goes well.

Please take a step back and spend more time considering what we actually 
want to accomplish and how best to do it rather than screaming for blood.

Thanks.

Judah
