Response #1 - Senator Dick Durbin
The following is the response to my questions that I sent in to my congressional representatives. I’ll comment here that although the response was concerning the current Iraq situation, it failed to address one important aspect. How efficiently are we killing our enemies? I don’t agree with the war in Iraq, as a matter of fact I think it is one of the worst ideas our government has ever had. But my concern is this: How inefficient has our military gotten? Are we using our military to it’s best effect, or is the whole concept of “bigger, badder, and more expensive” robbed us of our ability to wage effective war? That is my concern in this. The only effective way I can think of to fight a guerrilla war, is to make it more expensive for the guerrillas to fight than for us to defend. Please see the response after the jump:
