That certainly is not the wise way of doing it.....and what is worse we. have found no new ways to lose a way as efficiently as we have from Vietnam forward.
True
The best way to win a war is to decide whether you should be fighting it first, FDR / IKE etc understood that with sole aim of overthrowing the Austrian Painters regime being the only focus.
Sadly everytime US gets involved there is a huge long list of what they want to achieve rather than a single aim, think it was Congressional Audit Office that looked at Afghanistan aims of this administration, there were pages and pages of them such that everybody could find something they supported, problem was it is great supporting it from Topeka but no one in Afghanistan knows or cares. This didn't even look at the private companies that sucking billions out of wars, if your company is making $50 million a year from a war then your house image and lifestyle will ensure you fund politicians who continue the war.
