The US military is so incompetent and is on such a huge losing streak, it's extremely hard to trust any American active duty personnel or veterans under the age of 90 with any military assessment about anything. But Ritter was right about Iraq's supposed WMDs and the fact that the USA couldn't win in Iraq with air power. Nobody listened, the USA cheered its soldiers into Iraq, and enemy soldiers held 502nd Infantry Regiment accountable for its rape and murder of children, when American forces had no business even being there.
