World War 2 was for all the marbles. US won but later regretted it. Still feeling the effects today. Afghanistan and Iraq are wins. The problem is we should have just let Saddam kill his own people and just keep an eye on him like we do Iran. Saddam knew it was over before it started but couldn't look weak to his own people. Kinda like North Korea. They know they cant win but they will say stuff so their people think they are this big bad beast. And Afghanistan is not really a country, it is a gang of neanderthals across a vast region mixed in with regular merchants. Al queda, Isis would still exist if Afghanistan didn't.
the dumbest war of all, and probably the most costly when you consider court and incarceration costs
as dumb as prohibition
Since WWII- The Big stuff
Korean War- At Best, a Draw.
Vietnam War- A pathetic Loss
1993 Gulf war- A Victory, in the last Focused War we were involved in. The smart Bush laid out an objective(Getting Iraq out of Kuwait), met the Objective, and got the hell out. A model for how an effective leader gets in, and out, of a War.
Iraq war- A pathetic Defeat. Handed over the biggest Middle Eastern deterrent to Iran, right to Iran, created Terrorist Groups(ISIS, etc) that didn't exist. Obama foolishly got us re-involved, refusing to learn from history.
Afghanistan war- A Pathetic defeat, that Obama cannot extricate himself from.
Drone War on Whomever in the Middle East- A Pathetic defeat that creates many more new terrorists than those it destroys, not to mention the innocent people on our side that it kills.
