Ten year wars are ridiculous. Sending a man on multiple tours in some hellhole until he cracks up is even more ridiculous.

If you go to war, it needs to be quick and so horrendous for your enemy that he surrenders quickly. If your enemies are scared of you, they won't attack you.

****Ten year wars are ridiculous.***

When N-Korea invaded South Korea, Joseph Stalin said he wanted the war to last a long time as Americans hated long wars and would soon grow weary of it.
