That’s hand-waving away my point. An imperial bureaucracy is not just the military.

There is no phrase that better describes Democrats constantly messing up across multiple issues than the casual "the bureaucracy can be sorted out later"

Lowering expectations of humane behavior towards those with no power, regardless of our actions consequences on them and vastly amplifying delusions of how noble and successful the US Military is, has been a multi-billion dollar government and media effort my entire life.

The bottle neck is not the logistics/physical. the real bottleneck is the immigration paperwork takes 18-24 months due to background/security checks. Its not politically possible in the US to bypass this. US law generally won't allow people entry before they complete this step.

The US is famous for circumventing inconvenient rules when there is political will to do so. We didn't do that because to many in the military industrial complex wanted to stay I definitely. To say we were bound by proper paperwork is a cop out.

You’re the only one talking about winning. Who said anything about winning now or before?

"We have a giant military that is very very competent in logistics with massive amounts of hardware." Same that we had in Vietnam? (20 yrs) Same that we had in Korea? (3 yrs) Same that we had in Iraq? (8 yrs) 31 yrs of conflict, & how did those situations turn out?
