Seems sensible. I don't understand why anyone would be opposed to this.

They want be so cocky when someone slides a missile up their ass. Their pitiful navy has zero experience as a blue water navy, Japan alone would fuck them up.

The US doesn't try to win to hard, certain people like wars to drag on. Can't sell bombs and fancy gear if you finish to soon. American grunts won every major battle in Vietnam so maybe the problem lays elsewhere you think.

they literally bombed Korea until there was nothing left to bomb; there are famous radio intercepts of bomber crews complaining there was nothing left standing for them to hit - the US only wages war against countries that aren't able to mount a credible defence, and when someone else joins the party (in Korea, China moving in with larger numbers and more durable supply lines or in Vietnam, the PANV getting the latest soviet AA tech) they 'declare victory and leave'. and again, in the case of Korea, used the tricks they learned from absorbing Unit 731 to infect the civilian population out of spite.

Modern wars are fought for business not land these days. See General Smedley Butler for more information. Do you seriously think a country like the US or Russia would lose to some shithole if they went total war.

that depends entirely on your definition of winning the said war.
whats the stated objective.
like for example, in the current russian SMO in ukraine, the stated objective was demilitarization amd denazification of ukraine.
what was US objective in afghan and iraq and syria ?

and on smedley butler, he was just an old man who wrote on his experience retrospectively, ie, not someone wise enough to foresee the future and future consequences of his actions, but rather the sad and sombre observer and a recorder of his sad, woeful mistakes.
