There are none. Just do today what you did yesterday. And then one day we will get tired of playing around, declare victory and go home and leave them worse than we found them.

We should just PCS people there and stop pretending we have a grand strategy.

I 100% get what you're saying, but on paper when we launched OEJ (later OEF) and OIF, I bet we had some endstates written down. We didn't hit them.

Hey NAVCENT has been a PCS move (accompanied and all) for several years. The other services may as well play along

I strongly disagree with this. The problem isn't that there are none. The problem is that there are too many.
