Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan are prime examples of what happens when politicians called the shots rather than generals. Suffice is to say that if America stayed committed to the goals to establish a democracy something that takes time as it did with the founding of our Republic and following WWII then it might have had an appreciable chance of success. But then, we Americans seem to have short attention spans.
The events occurring now in the middle east will not set well with future warriors. make no mistake this is a dangerous world and while now of us like war, war is an inevitable human condition
