We can win the battles, but constantly lose the war.
We didn't do (IMO) a lot of post-conflict thought in Iraq or Afghanistan (or Haiti, or Panama, see a trend?).
We can blame the Generals for a lot of shit, but ROE designed to limit damage/enemy casulties don't help, that "caution" then trickles into the Field Grade minds, and sets the stage for failure.
