war

i was watching the news about the wars going on, and am just thinking out loud. whether you are for or against the war, isn't it kind of disappointing that, with all of our advanced technology, we can't accomplish our goals or prevent massive casualties? especially in a place with decidedly inferior technology... that's not an original thought, i know.

observation: one area that we seem to be strong in, however, is protecting our big boys. you have to think that our enemies would love and are trying to take out guys like general petraeus and other high ranking officers... the guys calling the shots over there. that would be huge for their morale. but they haven't. at least we haven't heard about it. we have, on the other hand, been able to get some of their top guys.
