The same concept applies to war. Backers of coups and insurgencies want to see success. America rarely uses that formula. Which is way we faceplant in Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Libya. Pick a winner, don't underfund and sit back.#StopLosingWars
Our inability to pick the right power players, match power curves, measure skill sets and determination has led the U.S. to fund wars in which there is no win, just constant low level infection of violence constantly frustrated by equally incompetent foreign funded rebels
Business success is measured by profits into an exit strategy, success in war is measured by win, transitioning into a workable government. They teach this stuff at Bragg, completely ignore it in DC. I have seen it work first hand and wonder why it never filters up. Photo ©RYP
