Not unreasonably, serving soldiers are weary of unwon wars – of going to war with everything except war aims and strategic clarity.
I would hazard that the recent video of U.S. Marines urinating on Taliban corpses is a coarser comment on the same psychosis, and the folly of fighting a determined and murderous enemy by distributing to your officers bulk orders of that charlatan’s best-seller “Three Cups of Tea.”
There is a logical progression from three cups of sweet tea to those acts of micturition that the Pentagon would do well to ponder.
