John F. Kelly is the man who, asked by a reporter if he would consider the possibility that his forces would be defeated in Iraq, said: "Hell these are Marines. Men like them held Guadalcanal and took Iwo Jima. Baghdad ain't shit."
Excellent news. I still remember your post from years ago arguing that the military was the last bastion of true liberal arts. I think that point you made is very poignant.
Baghdad and the Vietcong were the problem, it was all the traitors on the US side that were the problem. That's not something generals can resolve or even admit exists.
