Once in, Fight to Win

    When the Allies won WW Two
       Who dared say boo

    From 1948 to '73, Israel won four wars 
       Her brave civilian-soldiers rightly admired too

    When America bailed out of Vietnam 
       It paved the way for her disgraceful exit from Afghanistan

    Though war may be the last resort
       once in, fight to win ~ never abort

Very true Gershon, you have to finish what you started...

Good advice Gershon, and if it's a just war you'll get everyone on side. Tom
