History teaches us that determination, professionalism, and absolute commitment to the mission is worth more than a massive army composed of slaves to a regime. A similar confrontation looms on the horizon but on this occasion it is Tehran and not Istanbul that makes the people fearful and the old veteran sleepless. Let us all pray for the safety of the men and women of our armed forces and that any conflict might be brought to a speedy but decisive conclusion.
"Politicians" OUT of the battlefield! The decision when to make war may be in civilian hands, BUT soldiers MUST be allowed to wage the war WITHOUT interference! Then for each of our adversaries in turn, LEAVE NO MORE WARS TO BE FOUGHT!
