Democrats are making an issue of John McCain allegedly saying that the US military might be in Iraq for "100 years." That makes me wonder if Democrats are aware that the US military is still in Germany and Japan, 63 years after the end of WWII. Democrats don't seem eager to bring those troops home. Their discussion regarding Iraq makes one wonder if they are aware that the US lost many men (I've seen the estimate of 9000 men) to the German "werewolves" after the end of WWII, and that it took many years to defeat those German insurgents. One also wonders if they are aware of how those insurgents were treated by the US military. It is certain that they weren't locked up for the duration in a nice place like Gitmo. Rumors are that they were summarily executed. It is certain that the British complained about how the US dealt with the insurgents.
