If anything they took trying their best to the extreme. They would try no matter the odds, to the point where they would want to stay and try to “win” in Iraq and Afghanistan no matter the situation. The solution to every problem was to throw more soldiers into the fight.

Whereas only a commander in chief who isn’t from a military background can say “no, we lost this one, time to take the L and pull out”.

But that’s good I guess. A military that tries its best to finish the mission and a commander answerable to the people.
