Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

STRATEGY
During WWll, it quickly became apparent that there was a basic difference in how Germany and America strategized. The Germans by far had the best plans. However, if the plans failed, they didn't know what to do. If the Americans failed, they came up with another plan. This is a concept that we denitely need to revisit. Primarily, Assad of Syvia. Maybe at one time, we could think nation building, that sort of Arab Spring bullshit but as we're discovered, it ain't working anywhere in the Mideast. It is time to take a page from WW ll. Our strategy is not working, time to change strategies. From the very get go, we talked with an absurdity that defies any sort of rationality. We said Assad must go. Where the hell could he go? Where is he going now? Our priority has changed, it is now, ISIS. Can ASSAD help us. F..king A. Time to get us a new strategy.
