Total war is very bad, true. But look at the 'wars' we've been fighting since Korea. We send our kids to some far away cesspool and let politicians run the war, sending them to their deaths. 10 or 20 years later, we still haven't won and our kids are still dead. If we have a reason to go to war, get in and get it done. The constitution says that only congress can declare war and they haven't done that since Pearl Harbor. 100's of 1000's of our kids have died in these illegal non-wars. Before our troops are sent anywhere, make congress do it's job then get out of the way to let the military do it's job.
