Beau of The Fifth Column

We'll see how things play out.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

Y'all have a good day.

Well, howdy there internet people, it's Belle again.

So today we're going to talk about Trump, quotations, war, and knowing.

Recently, we talked about how the US is seeking portable bunkers for troops in the Middle East and how this showed a lack of foresight about the potential responses and capabilities of Iran.

Apparently, pointing out that Trump started his elective operation too soon and wasn't prepared for the response has gotten in some feelings.

But this is a good opportunity to point out that just because something is a well-known quote doesn't mean that it's correct.

So here's a message.

I'm sure as you sit there in your cozy little shack that it's real easy to criticize our troops.

They're getting the bunkers because they're needed.

But since you didn't know, you go to war with the army you have, not the one you want.

And thanks for putting it online, you effing idiot.

You expect us to believe that you know what you're talking about when you publicly post something like that.

You know nothing.

Stay home and take care of your chickens.

But since you didn't know, you go to war with the army you have, not the one you want.

That's a degraded version of a quote.

The full quote is, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.

That's Donald Rumsfeld.
