The US military is fighting like they care more about a how they are thought about, then if they win

This is what an IDF officer commented on in the early days of the occupation of Iraq by US forces.

War for both countries is more worrying about how they will be thought in the world than trying to anihilate your enemy. Feels to me like treading water, you are only going to get tired, but make no progress out of the water. Both countries have the means to get out, but lack any will to use the powers they have.
