To the editor:

From the time I was a little boy I was taught NEVER enter into a fight without every intention to win.

It’s just plain stupid to take troops away from their families, place them in harms way, incur an enormous expense to the taxpayers…. and then sit back and claim to have done a wonderful job.

The fact is that idiots have developed a weak,plan that reeks with shame and stupidity and America is diminished around the world.

This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. There’s no excuse for this kind of idiocy and every elected official who didn’t speak out against the obvious shaming of America should be immediately dismissed! Going even one step further, I would say that placing politics over people is treasonous and deserves serious punishment.

It’s time to stop playing and start programs that will serve to make America great and respected again!
