Failures of Military Adventurism

  • Democrats
    - Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, 10 years of bombing between Iraq I & II
  • Republicans
    - Lebanon, Iraq I, Iraq II
  • Most of these took more time and cost significantly more lives and treasure then anticipated.
  • None of them achieved their original goals.
  • Why do we think future conflicts will be different?
  • Yet we're promised more by both parties.
    - Democrats - Darfur and other armed "humanitarian" missions
    - Republicans - Conflict with Russia over its former satellites.
