Tw would never be so stupid as to let Urbane Guerilla massacre good American soldiers in wars that are unwinnable, have no purpose, and were never justified by a smoking gun. Wars as advocated by Urbane Guerilla are defined even by Sze Tzu as how to win battles while losing the war. How to win conflicts only to lose an entire kingdom. Urbane Guerilla maintains as did William Westmoreland that Vietnam was winnable. We deployed 1/2 million men, sacrificed 50,000 American, all in a war that even Johnson and Nixon said was not winnable. Nixon was so despicable as to maintain the Vietnam war just so that it was not lost on his watch. And yet Urbane Guerilla, who spent years in the service to rise to a rank of Corporal knows he is a leader of men? Yea. Lead them right into the Valley of Death. In Nam, such righteous leaders got fragged so that good Americans would come home alive and intact.
