JH1961 can you imagine training our military recruits and soldiers to be more sensitive? We are essentially training people we should be training to KILL with extreme prejudice (although no one likes the process and actions of Wars) we are training them to be "sensitive" CARING soldiers who I wonder if they would question the need to kill/eliminate the enemy? War is a horrible thing and we are asking, no demanding, our young soldiers to do something that goes against what many already would have a problem doing and that is taking another life however that's exactly what's required in War ... kill or be killed. Negotiations are for the diplomats and you can be assured that those on the other side will have no sympathy or caring feelings for Americans and our soldiers but rather will eliminate all opposition whether that opposition is uniformed or not.
A case in point is what's being done, by Russian troops, to civilians in Ukraine today. the object of war is to win by any means necessary and by totally obliterating or having the threat to obliterate your enemy and have them know it. Does anyone have any doubt that Japan would have never surrendered if they thought America would not drop another Nuclear weapon on Tokyo or other cities or on their precious emperor? Weakness or the perception of weakness in war or in situations where you have one enemy against another only allows one to feed upon the other. We are not going to overcome Russia or China or North Korea by loving them or convincing them we are just misunderstanding them yet that's what the Democrats are setting our new Military to do. Or so it seems.
