Iran learned the
lessons that Trump has obviously failed to learn from Vietnam and Afghanistan:
1.
You cannot win a war with naval or air power. You can break a lot of
things, but only boots on the ground can win a war and the US does not have
enough boots to force a win in countries like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iran.
2.
The same wars also taught that George Washington was right —- the easy
way to fight a superior military power is to refuse to lose. It’s called
asymmetric warfare and the Iranians are fully prepared to go asymmetric from
the get-go.
3.
The US simply does not have another 50,000 American lives and $6
trillion to throw at a war it cannot win.
