They've won wars by the attrition. Not obtaining all objectives doesn't mean they couldn't have, or didn't have more kills by a large margin. People keep using this lame conclusion, not understanding the damage they did If America stayed involved in those wars, eventually they would have done more, but that includes killing more people, both the enemy and civilians by collateral damage. You've seen what they did to Germany and japan. Think of how much more advanced a military they have now and look at how fast they've decimated Iran's military in a week. No nuclear weapons used. And they have a lot more in store if needed. Don't kid yourself. Their military could wipe out another in a short time, but a lot of people would end up dead on the other side. The US has lost just a few people in this conflict and killed quite a few, along with wasting most of Iran's military. Wars cost money , of course, as weapons aren't cheap, and the US has the best. If a country wants democracy, especially Iran now, it's up to their people to follow through, and now.
