There is a whole lot of 'home by Christmas' sort of thinking coming from the very most foolish corners of the ideological spectrum. But it wouldn't be the first time people let that kind of rhetoric and a healthy dose of stupidity back them into a catastrophic course of action.

For my part, even a brief inventory of countries which have undergone serious civil violence in the last few decades suggests that such a conflict in the USA would be absolutely ruinous for everyone. Modern warfare is crazy destructive, be it conventional or COIN.
