Actually it once did - look at German and Japan.

Huge differences in the people, huge differences in how the war was fought (the people KNEW they had been BEATEN), huge differences in how the peace was administered (military proconsuls, not State Dept. fools).

Politically Correct war and “nation building” does not work.

Major difference is that our enemies now don't concern themselves too much with specific geographical locations. Not much difference between one mountain or cave and another.

And agreed on the nation building. Didn't like it under the first Bush, under Clinton, under the second Bush, or under Obama. A nation has to be worth rebuilding first. Germany and Japan were, all of our enemies from the early 1990s until now, no.
