I’ve often referred to the current war as ‘being played by T-Ball rules: nobody wins-nobody loses’, and that is a recipe for a more protracted, more painful, war than is necessary - or tolerable....

If ‘victory’ is, in the final analysis’ “the sapping of the enemy’s will to fight”, then we’re already losing this war - not from horrendous losses, but from sheer boredom.

This was the Democatic approach to the Cold War, that no one could win it.

Reagan said enough is enough and sought to win it, to the horror of the Democrats and RINO Republicans, like Bush Sr.

Well your assumptions are wrong. It isn’t just a matter of sapping the will. It also a matter of sapping the ability to fight. We are closer today then were were 6 months ago to achieving that goal 6 months from now will be closer still
