I think what it proves, is that we can no doubt invade and conquer most nations with ease, and replace their government with one that suits us. But what I don't thikn we're militarily capable of, is sustaining a long term nation building effort that doesn't over stretch our military in a time where we may need it at the drop of a hat.
I don't know, I just like knowing our military is rested, ready, and prepared IMMEDIATELY to tackle any issue.
No one country in this WORLD can sustain a tru nation building effort, and not come out behind after all is said and done. We are weaker, more tired, we have less morale, we are on the brink of bankruptcy, and for what?
Hmm...I guess that the war was poorly executed doesn't bother you. We had way to few troops in Iraq at the onset of the war, we boosted troop numbers and violence is down by 80%. Sounds as though MCCain had it right.
