"It has been six decades since we emerged fully victorious from a major "hot" war. This is because the very definition of war has changed."
This is not accurate.
In wars, ever and always, men kill each other and anyone else who gets in the way. Nothing new or different there.
What has changed, is that the US MSM and the institutionalized and gratuitous 'dissent' industry has gone to work on the political will of the US.
It doesn't matter how much better our technology, leadership or training is. If the political will of the US is diminished or corrupted, we cannot succeed. You think our enemies don't know that??? Anyone who thinks that the MSM and the 'dissenters' have not sold themselves to our enemies is really naive. The US will NEVER be defeated militarily, but may very conceivably surrender itself over time. Our enemies know this too. I guess it is really too much to expect MSM talking heads or grown men in Congress to comprehend how much damage they do by mouthing defeatist and anti-US policy rants during wartime.
