Yeah and you also end up getting something like My Lai and a rape or two here and there.
Too bad today is a different animal since all the heavy lifting is done through stand off weapons softening the enemy before US soldiers go in. They’re just playing clean-up afterwards so there will be no soldiers in a position to make decisions for themselves to win a battle. What you have instead are undisciplined soldiers who don’t follow orders and you can end up losing a battle instead. It’s easy to romanticize the successes and ignore the failures to make it sound so good.
