Don’t play stupid, it is a bad look. Forever War is Gulf War I, the Yugoslav War, Somalia, the Afghan War, the “War on Terror,” Gulf War II, and now the Ukraine War. 31 years of never-ending spending, dying, and obscene profit.

You’re the one who is stupid, because your analogy isn’t even valid.
In your examples, WE invaded and WE occupied, and WE decided when and how to stay or leave.
In the Russo-Ukraine War we may have some influence (money and materiel), but that is just temporary, and while we may desire a certain outcome, when it comes down to it we will have no say in the matter. So, if the Russo-Ukraine War becomes a Forever War, that will be on the two belligerents, not on us, not on NATO, not on the EU.
Plus Syria, Libya, Yemen, and now Somalia once again.
