| #4 Overwhelming Force + Cautiosly Applied = Unending, blood and treasure depleting, asshole pocket stuffing, inability to complete the mission by those who actually sacrifice, quagmiring, boondoggle. Oh, and did I mention unending? Overwhelming Force + Unleash the Dogs of War = Broken will of the enemy, hatred of the enemy by the enemy's people, a desire or at least acceptance of the enemy's people to adopt the way of the conquoring force, improved lifestyle* leading to top economy of the planet.** *when conquoring force is civilized by western standards **when following the American Model^ ^ American Model circa times past.

| #1 But the president wanted to focus military resources on new priorities like China, and Mattis was told a third carrier group was not available to be deployed to the Gulf. Well, yeah! Everyone knows the Chinese are much crazier than the Iranians! Oh, and better campaign contributors, too! |
