Let me answer that myself...
It is because of Vietnam.
The left’s ability to control our media began in earnest with Vietnam. After Cronkite and co. They salivate every time we send troops to a foreign land. They don’t like the military of anyone that makes use of it for anything more than about 3-4 years.
After that....if you don’t get out, win,lose or draw, they attack any politician inn favor of staying. And that usually is republicans.
So we stopped doing it right, so that we could do it politically correct.
BTW kabar.
When you take a country and defeat them, you take the reigns of power to let things cool,but you start a parallel government as a democracy and gradually release power as they can handle it.
Since Korea, every thing we do turns to crap. Everything Israel has don turned to crap.
You don’t let a country you defeated dictate the rules to you. Israel ended up with Hamas in power in Gaza. The US allowed a Sunni to run Iraq, replacing a Sunni (saddam) with another Sunni minority government. It’s no wonder we could not get a agreement for status of forces. We were there to protect the Shia from the Sunni, as far as internal stuff. That left them ripe to pick by a Shia revolutionist.
Same things in Afghanistan..Libya.It’s all blowing up.
All for nothing.
I served a year in Vietnam 1967-68 and ten months off the coast. We won the war militarily and lost the peace. The South Vietnamese fought almost two years after our last combat troops left. When the NVA broke the peace accords and invaded, the US declined to intervene and Congress had already cut off military aid.
The Left likes to send troops when it is on a humanitarian mission or when a Dem President authorizes it like in the Balkans. They also want an intervention to be under the UN or at least NATO. Nothing unilaterally.
Korea was really our first limited war with limited objectives.
