If we order these outcomes chronologically, does a pattern emerge? And what does this say about how the outcomes of modern warfare have evolved?

i wish it was really the end. still 50k troops, 75k "contractors" (mercenaries?) and 5 "enduring bases".

i wish policy makers would take heed of your short history lesson.
