Our military fails only when there's a pussy acting as CIC and a Congress calling the shots. We fight with kid gloves and one hand tied behind...can't shoot 'til you're shot...the US government fails at everything, including military operations.
You calling our military a failure?
Let the Generals run the wars with the goal of winning and keep the President informed of progress. Then we might come out a winner instead of stalemating and retreating.
You can thank Eisenhower for winning the last one. Thank him for the Interstate system while you're at it.
