Not quite sure the point you are making here, I haven't been paying too much attention.
Had they put boots on the ground and succeeded in isolating Hawaii from the Union it would have pushed your forward bases back rather a lot.
Are you suggesting, as I read it, that failure to put boots on the ground ultimately led to failure? Not to put boots on the ground in Syria . . .
OTOH you did put boots on the ground in Vietnam, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.
