Warning Against Wars Like Iraq and Afghanistan
By THOM SHANKER
Published: February 25, 2011
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates bluntly told an audience of West Point cadets on Friday that it would be unwise for the United States to ever fight another war like Iraq or Afghanistan, and that the chances of carrying out a change of government in that fashion again were slim.

“In my opinion, any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so delicately put it,” Mr. Gates told an assembly of Army cadets here.

That reality, he said, meant that the Army would have to reshape its budget, since potential conflicts in places like Asia or the Persian Gulf were more likely to be fought with air and sea power, rather than with conventional ground forces.

“As the prospects for another head-on clash of large mechanized land armies seem less likely, the Army will be increasingly challenged to justify the number, size, and cost of its heavy formations,” Mr. Gates warned.

“The odds of repeating another Afghanistan or Iraq — invading, pacifying, and administering a large third-world country — may be low,” Mr. Gates said, but the Army and the rest of the government must focus on capabilities that can “prevent festering problems from growing into full-blown crises which require costly — and controversial — large-scale American military intervention.”

Mr. Gates was brought into the Bush cabinet in late 2006 to repair the war effort in Iraq that was begun under his predecessor, Donald H. Rumsfeld, and then was kept in office by President Obama. He did not directly criticize the Bush administration’s decisions to go to war. Even so, his never-again formulation was unusually pointed, especially at a time of upheaval across the Arab world and beyond. Mr. Gates has said that he would leave office this year, and the speech at West Point could be heard as his farewell to the Army.

A decade of constant conflict has trained a junior officer corps with exceptional leadership skills, he told the cadets, but the Army may find it difficult in the future to find inspiring work to retain its rising commanders as it fights for the money to keep large, heavy combat units in the field.

“Men and women in the prime of their professional lives, who may have been responsible for the lives of scores or hundreds of troops, or millions of dollars in assistance, or engaging or reconciling warring tribes, may find themselves in a cube all day re-formatting PowerPoint slides, preparing quarterly training briefs, or assigned an ever-expanding array of clerical duties,” Mr. Gates said. “The consequences of this terrify me.”

He said Iraq and Afghanistan had become known as “the captains’ wars” because “officers of lower and lower rank were put in the position of making decisions of higher and higher degrees of consequence and complexity.”

To find inspiring work for its young officers after combat deployments, the Army must encourage unusual career detours, Mr. Gates said, endorsing graduate study, teaching, or duty in a policy research institute or Congressional office.

Mr. Gates said his main worry was that the Army might not overcome the institutional bias that favored traditional career paths. He urged the service to “break up the institutional concrete, its bureaucratic rigidity in its assignments and promotion processes, in order to retain, challenge, and inspire its best, brightest, and most battle-tested young officers to lead the service in the future.”

There will be one specific benefit to the fighting force as the pressures of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan decrease, Mr. Gates said: “The opportunity to conduct the kind of full-spectrum training — including mechanized combined arms exercises — that was neglected to meet the demands of the current wars.”

谢谢！我是新手，不懂规矩，还请多多指教。

小布什就是个大傻瓜，其智商和傻大木半斤八两。

这样行吗？

傻大木很聪明

知道是个正常智商的人都不会傻到出兵打他

可惜小布什不是个正常智商的人

会让霉帝有更多军费用在武器研制上

我倒是希望美帝多弄几个阿富汗伊拉克泥潭什么的
然后分配大笔的军费进去做无用功

勇敢无畏的美国人民啊！千万不要被那破啤酒瓶盖子的无知言论蒙蔽了！！！！！



我靠！！！这B清醒了！！！！！！！！！辛亏他马上就下台了。。。。。。。。

明明是承认没能力了。

报道说，这是啤酒盖子对美军的告别演说。

光荣的西点是不会被忽悠滴，伟大的美国民众是不会被忽悠滴，正确的元老院是不会被忽悠滴。

眼下优先的任务是保证不武力干涉利比亚比较现实;P

要是不累就继续折腾呗

作为负责任的大国，美国应该有这样的牺牲精神

赶快出兵利比亚吧，让普世之光招摇非洲人民

这种明白人要封杀……

言外之意, 继续推动和深化代理国的参与以促成非MD成分全面占有牺牲份额.

要是利比亚变成了第二个阿富汗，冒出第二个塔利班怎么办？现在已经有人指责MD这次在利比亚的行动不给力了。

脑子进水了这话英文咋说？

这是我意译的，盖茨的原话引用的是麦克阿瑟的一个相对婉转的说法，叫“should have his head examined”。
