Superb, thoughtful post, ER. Provocative, as you say.

I'll take my particular exception regarding the Vietnam War. We were getting more heavily into that area, we were lied to about the causes and reasons, we lost, and we didn't learn a thing. Not a thing.

Bush came along, the Saudi's are home free, we are stuck in Afghanistan and we lost in Iraq. Didn't learn a thing. We're hellbent - "If it doesn't work, try it harder."
