I pose a few questions for anyone with current or past military service.
Do you feel that some of our problems in planning and handling the "post-war" situation could be a direct result of our military having the institutional mindset of being liberators, and not occupiers?
Do you feel that you were suitably trained for duty as an occupier in a hostile environment?
Do you believe that the Pentagon is comfortable with this occupational role?
I am just trying to get some insight. Thanks.
