You're an incompetent boob. I can see why tw likes you.

I was in the US Special Forces during the planning phase. You don't just go in with guns blazing and kill a bunch of people. You have to have the boots on the ground to manage the aftermath, control the surviving population, maintain infrastructure, reestablish government … etc. If you don't, you're soon back at square one. We didn't have the manpower capability at the time. We stalemated just as we did in Korea with the continuing problems that entailed.
