Basically this. The problem with the US invasion of Iraq was that it didn’t really destroy the pro-saddam Iraqi army. It just forced it into hiding. Then instead of coalition building it basically set all the ethnicities (which there are roughly 4 main ones) and religious sects against each other. So the US basically rushed in and sat around kicking the hornet’s nest. It would have actually been better that instead of sitting around the US had just left and come up with a new cassus belli for war. We should really be on the 3rd Iraq war and the 2nd Afghan War. The US military cannot be on a single campaign longer than 8 years because the US leadership changes every 4. If you look at America’s military wins you’ll find the best wins were the result of quick, decisive campaigns. Not prolonged 10+ year campaigns
Also why was I banned?
