Interestingly it was a lesson future POTUS's didn't forget. Warfare fought
by the US since Vietnam has been no holds bared and the results are evident.
The US military and the technology it possesses is second to none in the
world. It just isn't designed to be a police force or nation builder.


The military forces of the United States have not faced a serious
adversary in more than 30 years. We may have the most expensive
technology, but there is at least one country on this earth that would
fight us to a draw in a war on or near its turf, and we wouldn't be able
to throw nukes, because they could toss them right back.
