While I'm deeply concerned about the nation's leadership's decision to go to war in Iran, I have great confidence in our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen who are deployed to execute their missions.
I served two tours in Afghanistan to include leading a SOT-A on the ground with 19th SFG, and two years in Iraq where my second year was as the United States Forces-Iraq Liaison Officer to the Political Section of the US Embassy in Baghdad. Rest assured that I have been on the business end of Iran's exported terror and arms and have no soft spots for the Ayatollah nor the Council of Experts nor their fanatical Quds Force and military. They are not missed.
But from Sun Tse to VonClausewitz the objective of all wars is always to achieve political ends and our president, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense don't have a clue what those political ends are. That's not opinion. That is a fact.
