So of course all the Cassandras proven right will now get prominent MSM airtime, right?

@WilliamCharles I have no idea what your response means. Who or what are Cassandras?

@WilliamCharles I'm sure that will happen the same time hell freezes over. Right now, the corporate media is too busy putting on the same retired generals and think tank experts that were pro war from twenty years ago to have time to put on any peace activists or any true progressives who opposed the war.

@KKGator - a Cassandra is someone who foretells the future but that no one listens to. This is analogous with those who correctly predicted the outcome in Afghanistan. You'd think the MSM would henceforth feature these people prominently, but we can see that is not the case.

Cassandra in Greek mythology - [en.m.wikipedia.org]

I was agreeing with you btw.

@WilliamCharles Thanks for the explanation.
I was unaware.

Unfortunately, in the end Erwin Rommell was shamed and forced to commit suicide (supposedly for some obscure connection with attempted assault on Hitler). I had a neighbor who fought in N. Africa under Rommel. He was captured by the British and handed over to the Americans and was sent to a POW camp in Texass. He loved it there - no getting shot at or having to kill others, a steady job with pay and learning the concept of democracy (one hears that a lot from German POW's). Rommel's son, Manfred went on to become the mayor of Stuttgart. He died in 2013.

BTW, an interesting tidbit was the Rommel had a large store of various alcohols stored away. years later it was found and sold in the military class 6 stores in Europe. I bought a bottle of rum and vodka.
