I agree with Fred but I take a stronger position. The Obama people do not see the military as an important part of our strategic and tactical environment. I bet most view the military with contempt, fools who would spend their lives not maximizing their income. Sure officers seek power and prestige in their own world but they are middle class (Patton was an exception since he was wealthy).
So they will bring the troops back and leave the weapons either in working order or destroyed. I bet that they would be unconcerned about the possibility that the Iranians will seize the weapons and conquer Iraq. Forcing college students to do “community service” is more important while enriching the big contributors such as ADM and Soros.
But the reality of our financial problems and the foolish personal concerns of many of our young people will be the making of a new type of civil war. Bankrupting pension plans and stealing public monies are not a way to govern UNLESS the rulers have a dedicated armed youth organization that will kill for the rulers under some ideology.
But perhaps the American people are defeatist the way the Israeli left is.
