There is no doubt in my mind that if the Military was able to wage the war they wanted the result would have been different, of course that would also be dependant upon the public’s acceptance of bodybags coming home at a greater rate.

The US generals must field a lot of the blame because they were the ones BSing the politicians. These guys were architects of failure - with goals of the next promotion and a board seat at Lockheed Martin.
But General Miller could do a muscle up. General Mcchrystal woke early to run. General Mattis read books. General Petraeus could do pushups and talk about tribes. And all the other BS we’ve been fed for years that distracted us from the schittshow fantasies on the ground.
