>not just little bully-skirmishes

The US can't even win its stupid bully-skirmishes. We failed in Iraq after being there for 11 years longer than planned, we failed in Afghanistan, we failed in Vietnam, we failed in Korea. The trick for winning a war against the US is to just use asymmetrical warfare. For some reason, America completely shits itself when it's fighting insurgencies. The ironic part is that the US was founded by an insurgency.

They all read the same damned handbook that Mao created for the PLA to fight an unconventional war with Japan which has turned out to be the absolute magnum opus for asymmetrical warfare. "On protracted war". This is why the US keeps getting its shit pushed in by every insurgency known to man.

Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed

The US cannot win insurgencies because the officers refuse to see where the insurgency comes from. When I was in Iraq, I proved all the money was coming from Iran. I knew where the money drops were. All we had to do was seize and kill Persians and attacks against us would stop. Nope, that might start a bigger war.


It's the same concept behind why Vietnam was dragged out. The money and resources were coming from Northern Vietnam. Take out that and the war is over. Politicians don't want to actually win. They want a dragged out war that expends more and more expensive munitions.


General William Tecumseh Sherman conducted a strategy of total war to destroy the South. This lines up with traditional doctrine from Romans. Destroy everything. If you destroy everything, and your ground forces act essentially as a locust plague, there is no insurgency. There is no insurgency because there is nothing. No food, no water, no nothing. America will not conduct war this way because of optics. Essentially it's gotten into the heads of generals that the press has a right to be on battlefields. They do not. The press is always the enemy in a warzone.
