My review has nothing to do with the war, or for that matter the author, it forced me to question the orgin of policy, and the implications on our collective future. I think, not yet sure, if my reading of his essay, is correct.
That's why I posted in the first place, I was seeking input, to see if the conclusion that I came to was on point. I wasn't defending any position or person.

As for his son's death in combat, I feel he has every right to tell every elected offical to go to hell. It has always amazed me, that those who start the conflicts, never send their childern to support their belief.
We should lobby for a law, that states and forces, all elected officals to send their first born, to line units, when we as a nation, go to war. I'd bet the outcome and commitment would be radically different.

One other thought,; his outline is historical correct.

One more, have you read the book?
