I was going to criticize Gaffney for submitting a used, 2nd hand op-ed to Military.com, but Huber has done the same thing. Could someone convince me the originals go to Military.com and the cut-n-paste copies go to the other websites? Regardless, the state of foreign affairs and misuse of our Military reached traggic-comic dementions some time ago... somewhere around 3rd tours of duty. Now we have Iraqi forces fighting Iraqi Sunnis who were part of that whole surge-Patreaus-counterinsurgency-success business? (Iraq Cracks Down On US-backed Sunnis) Sheesh! You can't tell the players even with a program.
Once again this naval officer runs his mouth like an F-15 doing engine run up prior to take-off. Lots of hot air, lil substance, and no ideas for improvement. If he was promoted based on this and boring, he would lead the JCS!
Huber's stuff is so full of venom & hyperbole that it is just plain difficult to read. He portrays the smallest of errors as if they were catastophic blunders meanwhile playing down great successes. Guys like him cannot stand the success we have had in Iraq this past year and look for anything to try and paint success as failure.
4000 of our best killed; 30000 wounded; billions of $'s down the drain; our economy in shambles; our reputation in the world in tatters... you're right, the smallest of errors.

Talk about a total troll!... You post no data and literally every post on every thread you have been on is how we have lost and our troops are dieing and they are slaughtering us... You have got to be, with out a doubt, the biggest troll... Respectfully, SUNLINER81
