Most of the,, military involvements, don't start out being wars. I the sense of what a war really is. More like,,, constant skirmishes and police action. We're there on so called missions, that don't end. According to statistics. We've not come close to the casualties in Afghanistan, that we had in Vietnam. Thankfully. Still, to anyone involved, are just as war weary as anyone that's gone through combat. Takes a special type to be comfortable with getting shot at, feeling the area for IEDs or professional mines. What sucks is, the guys that get the country into wars, are never the ones doing the fighting. Maybe they strap on gear and give it a try. Maybe then they will do things more diplomatically.
