    Long and protracted war is not part of the US doctrine. There’s a reason Iraq didn’t last very long, the US aims to destroy before they could really establish fortified positions.

      Depends on how you count the air war, but the point stands. For some strange reason the US likes to contest things in places where they have a massive tech advantage instead of slugging it out trench to trench.
