President Bush used an intense bombing campaign he called Shock and Awe in Afghanistan before sending boots on the ground. Nevertheless, the war lasted 20 years before the US admitted defeat. At least Trump hasn't called for boots on the ground in Yemen. And he didn't include Israel in the peace deal because they wouldn't have accepted. Once again, a poor foreign adversary has defeated the mighty US military. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and now the Houthis in Yemen have defeated the most powerful nation in the world. Meanwhile, the American war capitalists have made a fortune off the American people in these failed wars.
