In all of America's wars, we develop stories that help us explain and live with the outcomes. After Vietnam, for example, a consensus gelled: that the civilians in Washington had botched the conflict by micromanaging the generals. And after the Persian Gulf War in 1991, George H.W. Bush's administration developed another storyline -- that the nation had triumphed because the military had been given a clear mission, ample resources and the freedom to do the job right. "By God," Bush said, "we've kicked the Vietnam Syndrome once and for all! The rise and fall of Gen.

The strategy strives for balance in three areas: * Between trying to prevail in current conflicts and preparing for other contingencies * Between institutionalizing capabilities such as counterinsurgency and foreign military assistance and maintaining the United States existing conventional and strategic technological edge against other military forces * Between retaining those cultural traits mat have made the U.S. armed forces successful and shedding those mat hamper their ability to do what needs to be done. Repeatedly over the last century, Americans averted their eyes in the belief that events in remote places around the world need not engage the U.S. How could the assassination of an Austrian archduke in the unknown Bosnia and Herzegovina affect Americans, or the annexation of a ...

Waghelstein discusses the reasons why the US Army is having difficulties in Iraq and the implication it had to the armed forces. Among other things, he highlights how important it is for the military of doing business.

[...] one of the most important theoretical problems confronting ecopoUtical philosophy today is not that it lacks the proper conceptual tools for critiquing the various mechanisms and dualisms of environmental devastation but that it has neglected the more constructive task of developing a theoretical alternative to them.
