Individual Americans vary from dull to brilliant but
put them in a military uniform and numb their brain
with "We're The Greatest Nation On Earth" vanity
and despite the most advanced weapons and
the best spy services, America has lost the
last thee wars (to bomb Vietnam, Iraq and
Afghanistan back to the Stone Age) that
it stared and Australia sadly joined as
Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan posed
no threat to Australia like Japanese
forces did during World War Two.

Pentagon thinking remains fixated on the glory
days when troops wore National Uniforms that
made it easy to tell friend from enemy - but
those days are gone and the Viet Cong, the
Taliban, Al Queda and other militants wear
clothes that make friend and foe alike so
bombing villages (on the off-chance)
they may be harbouring US enemies)
converted any friends America
had into implacable enemies.

Moral: You can't win a war against
plain-clothed militants by using the
tactics that worked for beating the
uniformed troops of Japan in WW2.

The longer America occupies any far-away land
and kills its people (on the off-chance they may
be militants who hate America) the more that
land slips from America's grasp and the more
militants it creates where none existed before.

The locals always have a higher Body Count
tolerance than America has. The locals are
fighting to protect their Motherland from
cruel invaders. The Americans are there
for ideological reasons - to bomb the
locals into democracy and capitalism.

Why is America's war on the Afghans
lost? It is about to negotiate an exit
strategy with the 'Islamic Emirate of
Afghanistan', the title the Taliban
used for Afghanistan - before
US troops invaded their land
to crush Al Queda militants.

America's corrupt puppet ruler Hamid Karzai
says his talks with America about post-US
security have been suspended over
America's "inconsistent statements
and actions in regards to peace."

Double-dealing perfidy, thy name in America.
Pity about the Aussie body bags, but that's
just minor collateral damage. Get used to it.
Uncle Sam loves Aussies. He really does.

Will America learn from its three Trillion-Dollar
errors? How can it learn when vanity blinds it.

America is arming Syrian rebels. Russia is
arming the Syrian regime. Next comes
bombing Syria back to the Stone Age.
Likely outcome: United Islamic States
of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Syria
and a bankrupt US Government.
