I am as an america saying, we definitely fucked up in withdrawing from Iraq like we did.
Yes, perhaps we should have made sure the soldiers we trained would actually fight instead of scattering like the armies of Song China before the Mongols. Or just made some bullshit treaty and divied Iraq up into three like the Ottomans, since they knew what they were doing and Churchill didn't.
Edit: although, as a fellow American, I'm sure you would agree our losses in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq have certainly not been for lack of trying.
I can tho,
Vietnam- Military wasn't allowed to invade North Vietnam
Afghanistan- Hopefully it turns out better since we have a status forces agreement
Iraq- Biggest fuck in part of the Administration, No status forces agreement and we pulled our before we or the Iraqis were ready
Can all sum it up to the civilian politicians in D.C telling our military how to win wars.
