Limited Wars Are Forever Wars
A new book looks at why the U.S. military keeps trapping itself in endless conflicts.

On Sunday, June 23, CBS Face the Nation reporter Margaret Brennan asked Democratic presidential primary candidate Bernie Sanders what he thought of President Donald Trump’s last-minute reversal of an order to bomb Iran. Brennan pointed out that the action would have been a “limited strike.” In his reply, Sanders sarcastically mocked the concept, saying that any limited strike would, of course, be “an act of warfare.” Sanders also denounced the president for issuing the order in the first place.

The next day, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, one of Sanders’s rivals for the 2020 nomination, proposed a tax on nonmilitary families to fund future U.S. wars while drawing down the current American conflagrations. According to O’Rourke, the tax was meant, in part, to end “forever wars.”

Even a blind fool like Beato can occasionally stumble across a truth,even if they don't recognize it.

We have NOT been fighting wars to win them since WW-2. We have only done the minimum we have had to do in order to fight them to a draw.

The only exception I can think of to this was the leftist-supported war against Saddam Hussein,and the only reason then was because he was  a danger to fundamental Islam,which is the current biggest danger to the world,and has been a threat to the world for hundreds of years.

NEVER fight a war you don't intend to win.
