Sure we can, with or without nukes but no crying from the political
sidelines.  You may indeed be right if the Democrats here prefer to side
with the enemy again in which case the initial premise has been

Our troops are the best ever and no one can take them down face to face
unless the politicos hamstring them.  See Lyndon Johnson (D) for the
playbook here.
