Jay Garner, much like George Patton following WWII, was going to continue to man the Iraqi Military, Police, and other government agencies using the existing personnel.....and gradually removing those culpable in crimes against the Iraqi People during the Saddam Regime.
Why the hell politicians don't learn the lessons of history is beyond me, that's what happened in Germany in 1945 and then a de-nazification programme started and those who were known to have committed crimes hunted down brought to trial and numerous were executed.
It really is the old saying 'If you do not learn from the lessons of history you are destined to relearn them'. Politicians are generally a**eholes who need to be hit over the head with a pick axe handle at regular intervals. Their inability to learn has cost many men women and children their lives and our respective armed forces too many deaths and the 'loss of blood and treasure'. May the politicians bow their heads in shame.
RiP to the fallen and speedy recovery to the injured both physically and many of those with the unseen mental injury war brings.
