While it was one that did manifest in more of a standing army than others we have seen it is still very much an ideology. Waging wars on ideologies like ISIS or terrorism, or even drugs for that matter, are all wars that can't be won in any real way. It always looks good on the news or in papers but it's really not a feasible goal.

This is how I felt about our war in Iraq.

The "war" didn't last long...it's the never ending battles that keep us there.

And if we pulled every person/troop out tomorrow or 100 years from now someone from the other side will jump out of a cave and yell they "won".

The larger problem, for me, is a president that makes these grand moves and announcements without consulting the people who have to do the work or an consideration for the negative things it may create.  DJT does not believe he ever makes a bad decision.  And as a businessman all that meant was he would go further in debt and he wouldn't pay the honest people working for him.  As President it means people's lives and OUR money is being wasted.  Truthfully though he either doesn't care or doesn't understand.  Maybe a little of both.
