#5 why are we fighting? to protect our Oil and thus our Economy? not any more,
let the sand monkeys slaughter each other, who cares. The Israeli's are fully capable of protecting their interests

#6 We are in these wars because after WW2 the military and political class learned the lesson that if you sit out the war things are far worse when the war drags you in.

That logic worked throughout the cold war, mostly.

They seem unable to see the world is different now and the logic doesn't apply to the long war against Islam. We'd be better off with Special Ops and supporting revolutions but otherwise keeping our troops home and ready.
