Political decisions often overrule strategic military logic --
Vietnam was exactly the same -- the Oz military told the government that Vietnam could not be won -
but, we went anyway ----------------- why? -- politics
but, then ---- politically - was Vietnam a good decision for Oz????
arrrrh no -------- a complete disaster --------- as was Iraq, as was Afghanistan
look at Vietnam -- decades of embarrassment for us
look at Afghanistan - 20 years - for nothing - all we've got is enemies - which we wouldn't have had if we hadn't been there AND now - a reputation as war criminals
good one guys ---------- well done politicians --- I thought that politicians were supposed to be on our side????
