It’s a bunch of chicken hawk civilian leaders, going back to Clinton, playing Green Army Men in a sandbox. They’re aided by “advisors” with security studies degrees and steeped in theory.
The result is forever wars that cost trillions, followed by bad deals (Trump’s Taliban peace deal) followed by bumbling withdrawals (Biden’s). The withdrawal should have been through Kandahar with the death of any Taliban who came within 100 miles.
Same with Iraq and Syria. “Let’s fight Islamic fundamentalism by … toppling secular Baathist dictators.” Oh yeah, and Libya. Though he was his own flamboyant exalted leader in his fashion week spin on Bedouin garb.
