![“They [politicians] have defined the war simply in terms of the detonation of explosives. When you look at the broader picture, America is mired in two wars that we're losing at the moment. We have a political environment that is as poisonous as anything I've seen, at least since the end of Vietnam.” quote by Michael Scheuer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e74/michael-scheuer-7471_america_they-politicians-have-defined-the-war-si_1405695.jpg)
