"The problem with the American way of war is that, technologically, it can’t lose, but, in every other sense, it can’t win. "
The object of war is not to destroy the enemy’s tanks (or Russian helicopters) but his will.
And on that front America loses, always. The “unmatched” superpower cannot impose its will on Kabul kleptocrats, Pashtun goatherds, Egyptian generals, or Benghazi militia. There is no reason to believe Syria would be an exception to this rule. America’s inability to win ought to be a burning national question, but it’s not even being asked. -- Mark Steyn
