More on mono-culture and why it hurts us...

Think about this, all our guys who are tasked with finding the terrorists are 95% white, christians, male, and probably conservative.
Meanwhile our enemy is pakistani, afghani, british, sudanese, persian, lebanese, german, indonesian, croatian, etc, etc.

Our side follows a chain of command. Our guys have to follow whatever the top dictates.
Their side has only a symbolic leader. The various cells operate independently with probably only minimal communication or pre-arranged signals.

Our side has to deal with the beltway & giant corporate bandits who see tons of money to be made. The biz may talk about the 'war on terror' and plant flags behind their logos, but at the end of the day, the shareholders take precedence, not the fight.
Their side simply has tons of money made from selling oil to us, which is then passed along to the various cells or raised independently.

So how on earth are we supposed to win with a crappy situation like this?

Mono-culture and why we can't find one stinkin' thug

Despite what some neonderthals may parrot on the fake news network, the reason why we (the U.S.) haven't caught Bin Laden or stopped them is simple.

1. We have a mono-culture that pervades the spook community. 'Tokens' are few and far between.

2. The braniacs (Ph. Ds) will spend 2-3 minutes debating some trivial fact that a 'token' has already provided the answer to.

3. The top (and I mean the very top) never admits they're wrong.

4. Country-club/yacht types are still promoted within the Navy because they managed to spend tons of money on business systems.

5. When tokens start to solve problems, the braniacs and country club types panic and send in vendors who are renowned for vapor products.

Meanwhile our Army is bearing the brunt of the hubris and our sons, daughters, moms, dads, cousins, etc are dying or coming home maimed for life.
