And America has "just" the biggest invested army world wide. I guess you need more than money to win the fight sometimes.

Ken Burns Vietnam War documentary, exemplifies really well how limited commitment to fight a war, will result in similar situation as in Korea (to a degree, I guess), Vietnam, almost in Iraq, and now in Afghanistan.

Wars are not meant to be win. If you win a war quickly you don't make any profit.
