Then we proceeded to "occupy" them for a fricking decade and couldn't stop tripping over our own dicks. Should be a lesson there somewhere.
The military did what it was designed to do- defeat a conventional army on a battlefield. It fricked up the "nation building" part which I would argue should never have been its role in the first place. Brenner screwed the pooch almost from day one when he disbanded the Iraq army.
