Why We Do Not Win Wars
Why We Do Not Win Wars
By Dr. Bob Uda
6/22/2014
We (the USA) do not win wars like we did in World War II because of the following:
o The president of the United States (POTUS), the administration, and the American people possess very little political will left to fight and win wars.
- Hence, we withdraw and call it a victory.
- As in Vietnam, Iraq, and soon Afghanistan, we retreat with our tails between our legs, surrender, and lose those wars. That is not a victory.
o We cannot expect to win wars with the continually creeping political correctness (PC), which ties our hands behind our backs.
- We cannot use enhanced interrogation techniques (EITs). They call it torture. They do not know what real torture is all about.
- We read enemy combatants Miranda Rights when we capture them on the battlefield.
- At one point, the POTUS wanted to pass a law requiring retired military with war injuries to pay for their own medical care. That idea met a huge backlash from the veteran organizations (VFW, AMVETS, ROA, American Legion, etc.) that the POTUS backed off from that ill-conceived idea.
- Our warfighters must not emit flatulence (fart) in public.
- We must be ultra-careful of committing collateral damage.
- The administration is stripping religion, prayers, and the Holy Bible from the military forces in combat—but not the Quran.
- The administration has fired, retired, and demoted and relegated to non-significant positions in the Armed Forces over 200 of our top star-ranked military officers (mostly conservatives).
- The Veterans Affairs (VA) places retired veterans and severely battle-injured people on waiting lists that cover months and even years, which cause many patients under the supposed VA care to commit suicide or die of their injuries on a daily basis.
- Trying U.S. warfighters in courts martial for war crimes when they were just doing their jobs, which is to kill or be killed (e.g., the Camp Pendleton Eight marines).
- Violating the “no man left behind” military oath in the Benghazi attack.
- Protecting deserters (traitors) and denigrating loyal warfighters who confirmed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s desertion that caused the unnecessary deaths of six warfighters searching for that turncoat deserter.
- Negotiating with terrorists in the disgusting Bergdahl traitor trade for five of the deadliest Taliban leaders in Guantanamo Bay Detention Center (Gitmo), thereby, negating the long-held national policy of “never negotiating with terrorists.”
- Releasing Gitmo detainees who returned to the battlefield and killed more American warfighters.
- Plans to close down Gitmo, which will require incarcerating captured insurgents in prisons within the U.S. homeland—probably to hold them in the empty palace of a new prison located in Illinois.
- Giving arrested terrorists (like the one on the Benghazi attack) American citizen rights by trying them in federal courts in the United States instead of dealing with them with military tribunals.
- I can go on and on, but you get the picture.
o We should not get involved in any war unless we go to win that war. Winning is wiping out the enemy, destroying their will to continue the fight, and getting them to raise the white flag, throwing down their weapons, and getting them to sign a document of surrender and promising not to continue the fight.

Additional reasons we won’t win any wars. 1: Embedded media. They soon tire of filming bombs and and defeat of the enemy and start filming the injured civilians. Collateral damage cannot be eliminated. Especially when the enemy hides within the civilian population. War is messy! Understand that or stay home! 2: Fighting the war based on public reaction to #1 above. 3: Having Politicians decide War policy based on #1 and 2 above rather than Military Commanders with the Experience and Education to do so. 4: Imposing restrictive Rules of Engagement based on #’s 1, 2, and 3 above.
