Nothing changes but the parties

Common sense should tell you that nothing every changes, except the parties. During the Bush administration all of the Democrats where against all most everything Bush wanted. During the last campaign the Obama's people needed something to help with the wars, so they started the Afghanistan was the war to win because the 9/11 attacks came from there and it was proper that the US should be there. Iraq was just Bush's war and we needed to get out. A lot of the same things they used against Nixon. Now here we are the anti-war left and hard left leaning Democrats want out of Afghanistan. We just have to go back to the late 60's and early 70's and we have the same thing from the same people, using the same tactics but the only thing that changes is the party in the White House. Iraq is doing better and Afghanistan is in real trouble, they turned the American people against the war in Viet Nam and the same people are going to turn the American people against Afghanistan, because they know how. President Obama can't please the anti-war left and still hope for a Afghanistan free of the Taliban. He can't keep the American military on track and caring with out the political support(money). This is why we are in this mess. Democrats or Republicans, they still thing about wining the political goal and never thing of how to govern. If we would have elected a Republican, it would have been Viet Nam all over again. Wait until President Obama is in the place to start to take money away from the Defense Department, just like all others in his party, have done for years. Republicans give money to DOD, Democrats take money from the DOD. You know what is really odd, for all the support the politicians say they have for the troops, the Democrats won't give the troops raises and the Republicans do but not enough, isn't that odd or is it just plain unacceptable? Wars, you know, by any other name, people DIE, should never come down to a political decision. We have people putting their lives on the line for their country and the President of the United States may make a decision based on what his political party wants. People are DYING and their lives could be based on a political, I can't think of anything that would express my total distaste. I am VIET NAM VETERAN and I know about how impossible it is to win any WAR. When politics and politicians get involved in areas where lose of live is the outcome,they just don't take that in to account. Boots on the ground are last, saving political face is always first.
