VDH is a historian. He seems to be pretty good at understanding where we are and how we got here. He's far less good at recommending what to do about it.

Not another dime.
Really, I'm trolling because I don't think our wars have been beneficial to the US? I am troll because I don't want to get into another one? I mean we're hitting one war every three years now. Methinks you should look in the mirror sir.
Korea. We are still in South Korea. We are haranging with a dictator who has nukes and starves his own people, backed by a country with a larger GDP than ours. How has that been helpful and why are we the ones doing this with a country thousands of miles away?
Vietnam (lost)
Beirut (200+ marines dead, lost)
Somalia (18 dead)
Bosnia (still there)
Kosova (won war, ended up with a backet case country run by Islamic mafia that sent terrorists into Afghanistan and throughout central Asia)
Iraq (won, stayed, spurred on AQ)
Afghanistan (beat AQ then decided to stay and how did that turn out?)
Iraq II (bailed out, country in three regions)
Libya (now Somalia like failed state)
Iraq III (country now part Sunni with the rest a extraterritorial Iran, and now Iran militia's occasionally firing rockets or drones into Israel)
threatening Iran (drone down, what next. Who's oil goes through there? Where are they???)
Sorry, which of those have turned out well? Other than attacking Al Qaeda, which one was required or an attack on the US, US personnel, or even US interests?
