Interesting way to explain government

Or at least what was meant to be? I think this clarified a lot for me.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.

That was very well made, thanks. I have been frustrated on other boards when trying to explain this topic to some young people, as they can't seem to be bothered to read the articles or books I have recommended. Hopefully, this video will be of use in that regard.
