Secret Strength


The AP reports that a classified Pentagon memo concludes that prolonged wars in Iraq and Afganistan have prevented the military from preparing for any future crises. 
It's a good thing that that memo was classified, because we sure wouldn't want anyone finding out that our military was stretched too thin. I, personally, never would have guessed that spending $500 billion dollars annually on a losing proposition would amount to losses elsewhere. Had this memo never been leaked I would have guessed that our military's response to Hurricane Katrina was so shoddy because the military just hated Louisiana, not because their leadership was inept, shortsighted, ill-prepared or broke. Until today, I firmly believed that our military was the strongest in the world, invincible and led by super genius, genetically perfect, philosopher economists that were able raise capital from bake sales while waging urban warfare.
Now that this secret information has been released, we might all be doomed. Now the terrorists know that we're not really ready for them. If only we had all voted for Rudy, like we promised him we would on September 12th, 2001. 
I won't be able to sleep tonight.
