I'm old enough to remember when Iraq was supposed to have the 5th largest military in the world, and Operation Desert Shield was the most comprehensive conflict our nation had embarked upon since Vietnam.
Now we've scrubbed Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam from the brain logs. A militia of Radio Shack nerds living in one of the poorest countries on earth now present the biggest threat to US Naval Operations since the Empire of the Rising Sun waged war against the entire Pacific Rim.
Really makes you think...
the entire pretense of US military strategy is to maintain so many layers of unrivaled superiority over the enemy, that the pea at the bottom of the princess's stack of mattresses must be presented as the biggest threat to the princess's vertebrae of all time
I remember being told a version of that story where the princess ended up alone, because no one would want to be with a person who complained about a pea beneath 20 mattresses
