Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam have proved that having the worlds most powerful military doesn't mean anything if your political objectives can't be accomplished with force alone.
Having the world's most powerful military doesn't mean anything if your political objectives don't include actually winning the war. The common thread in those wars is not that they were unwinnable, because they were not, but that our military efforts were undermined by politicians and subversives. The military has been denied the use of effective tactics and sufficient numbers, the treasonous media has reported our "inability to win" and our lack of resolve, and our cowardly civilian populace turned against the war at the first sign of difficulty.
No nation can win a war under these circumstances. If we had fought this way in any of the wars before the second half of the 20th century, we would have been relegated to the scrap heap of history.
