So I still lurk over there and still post from time to time, maybe once a month. So this got me a warning today. My response is in bold.

Here is something to think about -
http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-al-qaeda-survive-20180910-story.html So why is Al Qaida stronger than ever? The US military, the strongest military by far on the planet, and perhaps ever in the history of the human species, has been unable to suppress them. Why is that?
Sobering and perhaps informative to think.
Not to turn this political, but we are fighting with a rule book limiting our actions, while the enemy laughs at our rules and do what they want. And our military is still designed as a fighting force for large scale warfare against other large armies and the majority of our doctrine still follows along those lines.
