This is greatly offensive.
You have to understand two things about the American military.
1) ALL rules of engagement, policies and movement are determined by their civilian leaders. The military is only as good as the politicians allow them to be. Right now their hands are tied and unable to complete the task at hand. This has NOTHING to do with the ability of these brave men and women soldiers.
2) The US military is capable of handling any job. They are brave, well trained, willing and able. Any short comings come from politicians, not those in uniform.
You must understand the system. You can not point fingers at soldiers who's job is to OBEY ORDERS. However if you give them an order or a task, they will complete it with success so long as their hands are not tied, as they are now.
