[Osage Orange]

Losing battles, is part of war.

Dying, maiming, blinding, and all other acts....is part of war.

Failures are part of war.

Victories are part of war.

War is hell.

Yes to all of the above they certainly are. But failure to learn from the inevitable failures in a war is a part of defeat. The president seems to be getting this and is putting out a good plan. Better late then never.
