If we analyze our military incursions in the world, we entered Vietnam and Afghanistan, and in neither of them, we have done very well. We have had many casualties, and they say that this is normal in a war. I think we have a problem with military planning, who thinks the same?

I absolutely think we have a problem with our military planning. Our casualties in both Vietnam and Afghanistan are proof of that. We need to rethink how we plan our military interventions so that we can be more successful in the future.

I completely agree that our military planning is flawed. We've gone into Vietnam and Afghanistan with little idea of what we're doing, and it's cost us a lot in terms of lives and resources.

We need to rethink our strategy and make sure that we're actually doing something constructive in these wars, rather than just causing more harm. I'm worried with what's going on with Russia the US will get involved in more conflicts.

Yes, there seems to be a problem with military planning. Our interventions in both countries you mention were disasters, and cost us many lives. I hope that we can learn from our mistakes and create a better plan for future military interventions.
