3. neo-con thinks war is like a spread sheet - stick the right numbers in the boxes and ...

hey presto! - victory.

In reality it is a chancey and unpredictable business best left to professionals. Universally the professionals advice is, "Don't start a war in the first place".

7. they seem to have no grasp of "soft" factors too, like how people will like being occupied

9. to neo cons who have never worn a uniform

ANY uniform, war comes down to the aplication of force, as if you were doing a problem.

They have no clue what that aplication of force unleashes or what it does.
