I heard on NPR this morning that after ten years of recruitment and training, the Afghan defense forces are totally worthless.  So the US training command is doubling the number of training personnel “in country”, adding 800 “Trainers”.  I think I will call this military Keynesianism.  If you are losing big-time, fix the problem by throwing a bunch more (money, lives) down the black hole.  I won’t bore you with Einstein’s definition of insanity.  I am sure this was OK’d by the Obamatron, who gave it his bobble-headed official pentagon rubber stamp of approval.  If you were wondering why the USA is going to hell in a handbasket, you ought to be able to stop wondering.  Just for the fun of it check out this monograph about Republicans and why Obama is no different from Bush.  In things military I think Bush may have had something of a plan in mind.  A single-celled plan maybe, but a plan.  Obama just gets led by a five sided collar.
