As you know, getting the last 5% of anything increases the costs exponentially far beyond all value.

Crazy Horse apparently didn't hear about that.

On the other hand, Davy and the boys at the Alamo wish the Mexicans had.

One of course, has too understand the value of Victory. Or just the value of doing a job well. This means finishing it. Well at least it used to. Nowadays, with the GOP, I guess we kinda just outsource it.

You see when you annihilate the enemy, he nor others EMBOLDENED by him, come back to bite you.

Victory does not create followers of the losing side. Defeat, does. We have created many more followers of Islamic Terrorist - by retreating from victory and into defeat in Fallujah.

Interesting that you use Crazy Horse and the Alamo. Those are PRECISELY two examples where wiping out the enemy so depleted the victor as to cause them to lose.
