    The Pentagon has now fucked up two wars in a row and wasted trillions with no career consequences for failure, and not even much Congressional interest in what went wrong. The same pattern extends to prohibitively costly dead-end weapons programs. There's no way to fail at DoD

        We all made fun of Space Force, but now there's an entire new branch of our military, and as the bureaucratic lava cools it will become impossible to eliminate. Whatever you think about the project of American empire, the chief tool of US foreign policy is rotting from within

        In the wars America won, a recurring pattern was early and aggressive demotion of incompetent high command, as well as thorough Congressional oversight. But somehow after Korea the military got so good at staffing that no one needs to be fired or second-guessed anymore

        The fact that the Pentagon either lied to itself or lied to Congress for twenty years deserves more attention from our legislators (who just sent themselves on vacation)

        To put it another way, we could have given the Taliban billions of dollars and a fleet of American military hardware in October 2001 to get the same outcome we bought with 20 years of war. This is not a time to close ranks and heal, but a time to investigate the hell out of DoD

        Also the voters barely care about foreign policy.

        I suspect this is because most US issues are very clearly domestic with other reasons taking a long second place

        It was lost before it began. If there is no clear victory condition, how is it achieved?

        It was a joint effort with both the White House and Congress. Yes two wars were fucked up but the entire ruling class was involved, not just the Pentagon.

        Also the voting public as this was popular for most of those two decades.

        Not a military fan, but Pentagon is just following orders from executive and legislative branches. There's definitely rot, but fishes rot from the head down. These wars were owned and operated by politicians. There were never coherent objectives for the military to fulfill.
