Vietnam in the desert.

via Fox News.
One Navy F-18 pilot who has flown missions against ISIS voiced his frustration to Fox News, saying: "There were times I had groups of ISIS fighters in my sights, but couldn't get clearance to engage.”
He added, “They probably killed innocent people and spread evil because of my inability to kill them. It was frustrating."
Sources close to the air war against ISIS told Fox News that strike missions take, on average, just under an hour, from a pilot requesting permission to strike an ISIS target to a weapon leaving the wing.
Read the travesty here.

I won't step into the political quagmire and try to figure out where the blame lies...its irrelevant.  If its the Pentagon or the White House the results are the same.

This is Vietnam in the desert...on steroids.
