The book On Strategy by Colonel Harry Summers opens with this exchange:
“You know you never defeated us on the battlefield,” said the American colonel.
The North Vietnamese colonel pondered this remark a moment. “That may be so,” he replied, “but it is also irrelevant.”

Hegseth: "Operation Epic Fury was an historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield--a capital V military victory." That mindset is the problem. The U.S. won every battle in Vietnam and Afghanistan and still lost both wars. Tactical victories aren’t strategy.

The fact that they’ll implement automatic draft registration but not automatic voter registration says a lot.

@McFaul @IAmSophiaNelson Will the "Board of Peace" administer the tolls -- for a cut of the $$??
Or, will Jared broker a deal for a multi billion dollar "toll booth" on a renovated Kharg island?
Just think of all the rebuilding that needs to be done -- maybe a new #Trump Tehran?
Follow the money.

@McFaul @IAmSophiaNelson I predicted this. When all else fails -- as Mr. #Trump's War has -- you have to expect him to try to find a way to personally profit from it.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran.
This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home.
The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.
