Blaming American Soldiers and Officers for Avoiding Risks
Thomas E. Ricks from foreignpolicy.com writes in this article that American soldiers and officers were not willing to take risk in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that is the reason Americans lost the wars.
Thomas E. Ricks is probably from rich white elite class with no child in military.
Almost everybody will take a risk if own homeland is attacked. That is why Iraqis and Afghans didn't let the USA succeed in the war, because they were taking a lot of risks, because America had attacked their countries.
And no body will take risks in wars whose main beneficiaries are blood-sucking elites. When Americans attacked and captured Iraq and Afghanistan, it was not that Iraqis and Afghans had attacked USA. No. Americans were talking about attacking them for several years and at last they captured and invented some excuses to carry out the long wished attacks. Americans were very eager to test their new weapon systems and powerful army.
But, we can all see now that the attacks didn't gained for Americans what they wished. Because the motive of the attacks were false. They American solders and officers were deceived by American politicians, journalists, intellectuals and elites. American soldiers and officers were pushed into two wars with no clear moral justifications and objectives. And clear moral justifications and objectives makes everybody to take huge risks.
Americans spent hundreds of billions of dollars on weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan. They used very little on destroyed infrastructure construction and public welfare of the war struck people of Iraq and Afghanistan. Even the very little resources USA used on the people of subjected countries, it was consumed in corruption while Americans were watching.
Iraqi and Afghan people knew that Americans were there for destruction only and for no good reason and intentions. American soldiers and officers also knew this. So, this guilt was enough for the soldiers and officers to avoid taking risks, because they are also human and they also have families.
