Andrew Bacevich Quotes
The United States military is undoubtedly the world's finest. It's also far and away the most generously funded, with policymakers offering U.S. troops no shortage of opportunities to practice their craft. So why doesn't this great military ever win anything?

Why has the now 15-year-old war on terror failed to result in even a single real success anywhere in the Greater Middle East?
