Grunts on the line, where the enemy wants them dead, still goof off - even knowing that by letting their guard down they might die.

That's what supporting the troops is really all about - making sure American grunts get the right stuff!

Fortunately, it's still not too late to develop a comprehensive global strategy to eliminate our real enemy.

Our generals talk a good game about taking care of their grunts, and the majority of our Beltway politicians bay with moralistic fervor about how they, too, support the troops.

The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.

We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
