Yup.

I really hate nation building. Our military should be used to break things and to kill people. Make the other nation weaker, and very reluctant to tussle with us ever again. Then leave.

That's victory. That's how wars are won.

Bingo. Iraq proved we could take down any regime in about 3 weeks. It’s what comes next that’s the sticky wicket.

Seriously! That term should be taken out of our lexicon entirely. Go in, kick ass, come home and tell them if they get uppity again, we’ll be back!
