#1 ...When will we learn?

Most of the rest of the world regards us as simple-minded morons who exist only to be fleeced. In 1975, the South Vietnamese Army was ordered to deploy its forces to stop the North Vietnamese invasion...but far, far too many of its officers were padding the rolls and collecting the pay, so the ghost soldiers marched their comrades to defeat. Fifty years later the same damned thing happened in Afghanistan, abetted by the fact that when it came down to it, ethnicity and religion mattered more than nation and freedom.
