Alot of times when it comes into discussion about hypothetical wars involving the US vs say China or Russia people always make the argument that we have the better army which we do. We have the advantage there. More Carriers and what not , Highest grade technology but if this is true then why we're we so bad in the Vietnam War and our current intervention in the Middle East? and even before that in the Civil War the union had the advantage but still got decimated by a bunch of rednecks with muskets (although they eventually won)
Why is the US military so inefficient at" winning" wars

The longer the war gets drawn out the more money our military leaders make.
Wyatt Butler
Because we are not allowed to fight.
Vietnam we were kicking ass. We were doing so much more damage to Charlie than we were taking. The fifth column journalists kike made a big show about the causalities and turned the home front against us.
This generation we have this fucktarded doctrine of hearts and minds that prevents us from doing shit.
THE REAL REASON THOUGH is that the kikes make way to much money off of ongoing conflict. A war that lasts two years because we shelled the shit out of everything and massacred cities doesn't cost as much as one that goes on for 12 fucking years. The military industrial complex is a tumor growth that is bleeding the country dry instead of letting us do our job of bleeding other countries to death and stealing their wealth.

Because they're breaking a core rule of the Art of War, which is that political leaders must keep their hands off military matters and that military force should only be deployed with the singular goal of destroying an enemy to expand or defend a nation.
Every conflict since the second world war as been everything but that. Interventionist wars to prop up failing nations at the bhest of political leaders for political motivations, and, worse yet, political interference at a tactical levels.
William Miller
The US has no grand strategy and no group dedicated to actual strategy.
It's basically policy (run by Jews, cuckservatives, and dimwit leftists), then the various military branches in the Pentagon. So at the policy level it is disastrous trash with no continuity and special interests ranging from "good for the jews," to energy interests, to leftist shit like R2P and spreading democracy.
Then they expect the military to do be able to put this grab bag of garbage into a workable format. There is no inbetween high-level strategic thinkers, or grand strategic thinkers that can draw on multiple solutions. Only military solutions.
Other reasons as well:
Restricted ROEs from do-gooder lawyers. Thus restricting the operational and tactical ability of Americans.
The Media who are an information warfare arm that supports whatever the US is fighting, e.g. they'll support Islamists over American soldiers.
An over reliance on weapons tech for solutions to wars. See the recent China "strategy" which is nearly all robots, sensors, and technological solutions to warfighting. As opposed to China's grand strategy that is both technical (A2/AD with precision guide munitions) and economic/political (the new land/maritime silk roads).
The US state department, who is supposed to be about diplomacy from top-to-bottom (diplomacy between heads of state to diplomacy at a tactical level between warlords) are actually incredibly trigger happy. They tend to push for military solutions more than the Joint Chiefs do, when their job is avoid that.
Basically, America is fucked from top-to-bottom.

The US is great at winning wars; its just has had some troubles with winning the peace in a few cases. I don't think you realize how many "wars" (or military interventions or police actions) the US has been in. The US actually has a really good track record.
