2) The US military is capable of handling any job. They are brave, well trained, willing and able. Any short comings come from politicians, not those in uniform.

You must understand the system. You can not point fingers at soldiers who's job is to OBEY ORDERS. However if you give them an order or a task, they will complete it with success so long as their hands are not tied, as they are now.
