PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY ARE CALLED "THE BEST & BRIGHTEST" BY FAR TOO MANY...

media folks when the truth is they are neither.  The Americans who battled in Fallujah are certainly idiots:
Falluja’s Fall Stuns Marines Who Fought There

Adam Banotai was a 21-year-old sergeant and squad leader in the Marine Corps during the 2004 invasion of Falluja, a restive insurgent-held city in Iraq. ... “I don’t think anyone had the grand illusion that Falluja or Ramadi was going to turn into Disneyland, but none of us thought it was going to fall back to a jihadist insurgency,” he said. “It made me sick to my stomach to have that thrown in our face, everything we fought for so blatantly taken away.”
What about the WMD???

I caught part of a Charlie Rose interview with the guy who is the real life hero of the new Afghanistan movie. Rose asked him how he felt about the US getting out of Afghanistan on Obama's (publically stated as opposed to actually hoped for) timetable.

He shrugged, "that's above my pay grade."
