“Selling War” details how the U.S. military lost in the information war early on in Iraq.
As the old adage goes, The pen is mightier than the sword. “Selling War: A Critical Look at the Military PR’s Machine,” a new book by Steven J. Alvarez, is if nothing else a somber reminder that in modern conflict, the pen must be wielded with the sword.

watch this to get this and a bigger picture..its sickening! this show on PBS shows why we f-d up badly. We did not need to fire the Iraqi Army since half of them went to al quaida and later to ISIL.

We are Great at Winning Battles, Not so much Wars anymore. Unless we as a Country are willing to do like we did at the end of WWII with the Marshall Plan, Sink tons of Money into the Defeated Country Put a lot of our Forces there to ensure Stability like we did with Germany and Japan for an Extended Period of Time, we are just spitting into the wind.

It's all about politics, you can't give an inch when it comes to granting success to your opponent. The fighters just carry on the best they can and most do know how we did and why, it is now, falling apart.
