Ronald Reagan never had a problem with the military, and he put 168 unarmed Marines "in barracks" under hostile conditions. The "barracks" were in the open on an airfield. The hostiles had higher ground, and just butchered them. That's true malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance, yet he got a bye anyway -- because he was a Republican.
Reagan did not refuse to send in aid that was available - granted, that was Obama not Clinton - and Reagan did not later go into denial about it, the way Clinton's quoted remark does. Instead, Reagan adjusted his tactics and won. Soldiers like victory.
After the incident with the Marines in Lebanon, we packed-up and left.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
