Only the dead see the end of the war. Plato

In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.

Rapidity is the essence of war. Art of War

There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.

A victorious army opposed to a routed one, is as a pound's weight placed in the scale against a single grain.

Did you know soldiers who were effective fighters Ie ones who just kept fighting even when they ran out of bullets and did not would not consider surrender were often deemed unreliable and were sent back home for they were considered 'kill crazy'.

There were often observers (CIA?) in the field whose job was to observe warfare, who they reported to must have went high up in the chain of command.

I read accounts from various sources that hundreds of officers who knew how to win battles were mysteriously assassinated if they did not follow protocol and wait for the go ahead from Washington.

Officers were not allowed to take an initiative in battle unless permission to counterattack was granted by politicians in the White House.

For example, the Vietnamese through everything all they had against the Americans in the Tet offensive. The US soldiers held their ground and were pasting the enemy had them licked for the Vietnamese had to retreat. Many officers knew that all they had to do was to counterattack thereby killing all of the enemy then the war would have been won in 1968.

Permission to counterattack was rarely allowed and orders to stay put stand your ground was the norm.
Politicians with no military training thousands of miles from the bullets and bombs Co ordinating battles did not want the United States to win.

Spring 1973 Vietnamese supply lines bombed, harbours mined, rice production US controlled, Vietnamese army cut off out of ammunition. US army generals received a message from the north Vietnamese we surrender unconditionally. Shorty thereafter all army personal were ushered out and replaced by state department officials led by traitor Henry Kissinger

It was set up by the ZOG for failure
