I need to get an education? Am USAF, F-111 Cold War then F-16 Desert Storm.
You did not know it, but you essentially debunked yourself with this latest post. Earlier you did called the US military 'loser' because of a string of wars, now you say there are 'nuances' and 'contexts' that must be considered. In the US military, we have something call 'Professional Military Education' or PME. It is mandatory for officers and enlisted, and continuous for as long as you are active duty. You will learn that in any war, there are two equally important components: political and military. As I was in the USAF, my PME courses focused on the military side of any war. So from my perspective, that which you admonished me to 'get an education', the more nuances and contexts there are, the less credible the charge that the US military is a 'loser' military despite Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
This is a military oriented forum where most people here, including
YOU, have never served. And I need to get an 'education'?
