people smarter than me should have realized that it was a bad idea. thats what we pay them for. but when all the smart guys relatives are making bank on wars, it leaves one to ponder any fuggen war we have been in for the past 80 years, with the possible exception of the korea conflict. in my opinion it was a success and accomplished its mission. desert storm as well. everything else is kind of iffy IMO. imagine no vietnam and no iraq and afg wars.
