I contend that in the age of insta-info mass media hysterical play up everything 10000% that it is impossible for the US or any other country to effectively wage any sort of real war for an extended period of time.

Every war in history has had so many mistakes, screw up's, corruption, idiocy, unnecessary deaths, abuses, etc.

Think of the horrors of the Civil War, on both sides.

Think of WW2.

People tended to be ignorant of many of these mistakes and they only came to light much after the fact.

Since Vietnam the media has made it almost impossible for the populus to support any war.

Every little boo-boo in Iraq is front page news for weeks.


My basic underlying contention is that war is a dirty, nasty business and it's impossible to wage and win a war without some inevitably bad things happening and the media can go F itself.
