Can you guess what's happening at the pentagon? Do you want to guess? Why bother is your first response? Because there is no guessing about what the buchers at the pentagon do. They buctcher others at the same time our own troops get butchered. And if they at the pentagon are still able to cash their pay checks they will continue the process no matter what the tally in lives or costs of war to most of us on the sidelines. I don't know how they still get recruits for the armed srvices. The U.S. has lost every war since WW II. Yet they still want to suit up for Uncle Sam.
Enough digression. Today the Pentagon anounced an expansion and a refocusing of Special Operations Teams to be quickly deployed to emerging hot spots globally. It's like SWAT teams used by local police forces. The difference is that the Pentagon Special Ops has small groups of boots on the grounds that can be over nighted to any where on the globe. They are backed up by the full force of the Army, Navy and Air Force considerable grab bag of nasty fire power. Doesn't sound like any thing new? But it is. It sounds like "preemptive war' is now a functioning and vital philosohy of field grade commanders and butchers at the pentagon who don't need presidential authority to start a war. That's new. And that's the bad.
We should lose all preemptive wars. Lest they become a bad habit. Considering America's box scores in the war results since WW II that should be a slam dunk.
