I just watched your comments as well as some of Lt. Col. Aguilar’s. I appreciate you both speaking up. I have some hope that people are waking up to the “fooling the audience” tactic and demanding better from our leaders. I think part of that tactic is a manipulation of Aguilar’s characterization of jus ad bellum. It’s an attempt (barely) to make these operations sound righteous and proper, but luckily, I think more and more people are realizing the truth in what you’ve said about selling forever wars.

Thank you. Tony has some great insight and I enjoyed working with him. I appreciate your input and support as always!
