I would say we lack the will to win these wars but that would imply they were started with winning in mind and they're not.


Wars with the middle east are essentially fruitless because you can't tell an enemy from a non enemies. They're all friendlies until they're not is the way we treat them. You'll never defeat an army that isn't defined.

Was WWII the last American-involved war where soldiers on both sides wore uniforms?

But, to your point, I believe we pick those enemies because the waters are muddy enough to conceal where the funding goes.

War is a result of financial distress, and I’m afraid it ain’t just us that’s distressed, but we are sitting on a heap of debt and no signs of it slowing( in fact Congress is full speed ahead), and no one is buying our bonds…The current Government will need a war to distract from the impending collapse that is coming, and so will China with their economy. Let’s just hope it’s proxy wars, and our kids are saved….

Korea, Iraq 1 and 2 off the top of my head. People mostly remember the insurgency in the second gulf war (for good reason) and tend to forget that it began with toppling the uniformed military of Iraq. Not trying to play up the strength of the Iraqi military in 2003, just answering the question.

eta- the NVA in Vietnam also had uniformed soldiers.
