America just uses the desert wars to maintain a standing army with combat experience anyways, poor bastards are just a live fire exercise, it's why we just throw equipment and funding at whoever keeps the sandbox destabilized
Vietnam was actually settled in a treaty and ceasefire with the splitting of the country.. and then they turned around and immediately broke it and we said fuck this, we're done, and Korea was only left in two pieces because we didn't want to bother with the Chinese headache after Chinese regulars started showing up with the Korean soldiers the closer the US approached to the river
US military history is actually extremely fascinating, it's a shame we don't have a holo that plays shit like Vicky or HoI
