The Washington Post has an op-ed today providing some more on-the-ground insight into how to deal with Iraq. A dozen Captains provide their perspective as mid-level officers:There is one way we might be able to succeed in Iraq. To continue an operation of this intensity and duration, we would have to abandon our volunteer military for compulsory service. Short of that, our best option is to leave Iraq immediately. A scaled withdrawal will not prevent a civil war, and it will spend more blood and treasure on a losing proposition.
America, it has been five years. It's time to make a choice. What'll it be?
This is well worth keeping in mind -- ballots are being mailed out today in Missoula giving locals a chance to vote on this very question. I think ballots with a similar question are going out in Helena.
