Dessert Storm.Since it went so fast,people now a days only expect a war to last 7 days,or a month at tops and suffer little or no casualties and not realizing that a war in most cases is going to last years possibly decades.Ever since Dessert Storm people don't want to look at reality and face the fact that we must make sacrifices in order to keep our freedom in the long run.Once again another cruel answer from me,but reality is very seldom bright sunshine rainbows and roses.

Answer 3

It could very well be the recent public declaration by our esteemed senate leader that the United States has lost the war.
