If so, you need to do a bit of reading.

Borrow at 1970 dollars..pay back with 1974 ones (depreciated by inflation).
Wasn't it Richard Nixon that said he had a "plan" to end the Viet Nam war and then perpetuated it for another four years?
Duh? Is this the debt payment that Jimmy Carter had to deal with?
Wait until you see the inflation caused by G W's adventures for his lost causes.
Afghanistan is lost. Iraq is a civil war. Also another soon-to-be-loss.
"Bring 'em on!"
You'd think the US would have learned a lesson from Somolia when we got our billion dollar military's ass kicked by Toyota driving homies firing thousand dollar rpg's.
Ain't war great?

Here we go, it's Nixon's fault that Jimmy Carter got to pay for the Vietnam War that Kennedy or Johnson initiated.
Afgahnistan is lost ??? What a news flash ! Does Kharzaid and/or the Taliban know that yet ??
Iraq COULD be another loss if it depended on the likes of you to fight it. In 1942, America had lost Pearl Harbor; the entire Phillipines; Wake Island. England had lost Singapore and Rommel was marching across Africa. YOU would have said...."the war is lost".
No, War aint great (I've been there; have you?); but Defeatism is much much worse.
