F-22 CONTROVERSY
RECALLS
"SCREAM OF
EAGLES" DILEMMA
by Robert K. Wilcox
In
the
late
1960s, US
flyers in
Vietnam
realized
a
tragic
mistake.
Their
planners had
erred.
The
dogfight weapons
and
tactics
devised for
them
had serious
problems. Aviators
were
dying
and
becoming
prisoners
of
war as a
result. In a
larger
war, control of
the
skies
might have been
lost,
which
would
be a
national disaster.
Today,
the
decision about
America’s
newest
front-line
fighter,
the
F-22
Raptor,
threatens to
cause a similar
tragedy.
We could again
lose
control of
the
skies
which is
a must for
victory. Continued Here |

THE WAR
By Robert K. Wilcox
The important issue prompted by the recent critical Rolling Stone article isn’t Gen. McChrystal’s defiance or rank insubordination. It’s the announced deadline for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, an insane move that guarantees defeat, and other war-losing moves by the administration. Would you ally yourself with foreign forces that you know are going to exit, and the day they do, you know you and your family will be beheaded?
All the talk Obama firing McChrystal is a sideshow important to the Leftist media because they want Obama to look tough. But bad war-running from the oval office will continue a path to defeat. The real question is whether we are going to stop telegraphing our intentions to the enemy and get serious about the fight. Continued Here
