Webb: We’ve become “blase” about use of military force over last 10 years

2

In his Politico interview, Jim Webb has a lot to say about foreign policy and the use (or, perhaps more accurately, misuse) of the U.S. military. Among other things, Webb feels that we’ve become far too “blase” over the past 10-11 years about using military force around the world. Webb specifically calls for pulling out of Iraq and rethinking what we’re doing in Afghanistan; questions why we’re participating in a NATO campaign against Qaddafi; says Congress isn’t fully participating in these debates (and has been “frozen out”); and lots more. I agree with some of what Webb has to say, disagree with some, but overall find what he has to say to be thought provoking, as is almost always the case when Webb speaks on foreign policy, military, and national security matters.
