SUB-NATIONAL WAR
On
May 2, President Bush landed on the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln and agreed
with the banner flying overhead that the war was over and "mission
accomplished. This hubris and pre-mature celebration reflects the neocon and
Tofflerian/RMA mentality of DoD that all we have to do is bombard enemies with
aircraft and then occupy them with troops driving around in rubber tired
trucks. "War" to Neocons/DoD is only against nation-state armies,
hence on 9/12 there was no declaration of war against a sub national terrorist
group. In this arrogance and snobbery, the linear structure of the Army would
stop in place and spread out all over Iraq and begin living in former dictator
Saddam Hussein's palaces, and the support underclass would continue to shuttle
in vital supplies to keep the warfighting narcissists fat and happy.
The
problem is the WAR WAS NOT OVER and the battlefield is still NON-LINEAR, with
the enemy all over. Making matters worse, we did not restore social order and
sent the Iraqi military home despite our promise to them of continued
employment. Soon our lazy "presence patrols" in rubber tired HMMWV
trucks began to be blown up and RPG and gunned down by AKM assault rifles by
the Saddam loyalists who we allowed to escape because we did not employ an
effective 3D maneuver in the north to block their escape routes. The Bush
administration began their denials which continue to the present that the war
was indeed over and that only a few bad apples were the blame. Eventually,
while we lived in comfort in former Saddam palaces months went by without
Iraqis getting water, power and sewage running and what began as a small
uprising became a full fledged guerrilla war.
As
troops rotated into Iraq and became constantly ambushed they began to slap
armor onto their trucks in a desperate effort to save their own lives. Saving
some lives by sandbags and "hillbilly armor" many were lost and limbs
mangled because DoD refuses to accept the fact that their Radio Shack view of
war where only mental gadgets are needed fails miserably in the actual world of
high explosives.
