Was there a point?

Oddly...seems like those who first demanded war demanded the American public believe it would be perfect, low cost, fast, wouldn't require many troops, and also bolstered hard-targets and good intel as well as soldiers greeted as liberators. I.E., a dash of half-baked forethought with loads of self-righteousness -- mostly from the right...

I guess those were missed points as well, huh?

Again: the largest missed point: Vietnam.

Again: crappy article if it wants to speak objectively.

Thanks for trying...
