if you say so.

Thanks. Sometimes it seemed like the actual criticisms of the war strategy weren't registering. No one's questioning that the military has had unparalleled operational success - we've been able to blow up everything we wanted to blow up. Instead, the point has always been that those tactical achievements aren't advancing our strategic goals in any material way. Not in Iran and certainly not in some broader conflict with China. How many missiles we've blown up or how many sorties we've successfully delivered bombs to won't achieve those strategic goals, any more than counting tons of bodies in Vietnam meant we were any closer to "winning" that war.
