Charles A. Duelfer

Any of these defense initiatives, looked at 10 years later, you end up asking, “Was it worth it?” Look at Vietnam. Look at Iraq 10 years later. Bin Laden, The War on Terror?

Citation

War has always been a very expensive enterprise. The winner used to require the loser to pay the cost for years afterword, but with the Second World War the U. S. reversed the process. Since then winning a war has been extremely expensive, though not as much as continuing a war without resolution.
