Karl, 
     You have hit with great effect on the major 
problems of the modern military era.   The media has
been allowed to politicize the battle front and the 
politicians have far too much voice in the (small 
unit) conduct of the war.   Those who sit in judgement
(from the VERY SAFE rear areas) are quick to condemn
those who must carry out the orders.  
     
Trying to end a rant, before it gets going too far!

Bye for now,
John L.
