I am. Why play at something and accomplish nothing? The day we quit playing to win was the first war we didn't win. There's nothing nice, clean nor surgical about war. It's dirty, down in the mud and people die. That's how it works. The left in this country thinks you can make it all nice, clean and surgical and have been pushing that crap since Korea.
Look at our track record since then. You want to call someone delusional, you might want to consider the facts.

Got a better answer. War sucks. It sucks more for people that have to fight it than those that watch it on TV an complain about how it's being fought. It should be as brutal and down and dirty as it is. It's a means of last resort.
BUT ... we need to also know when talking time is over and it's time to suit up. Your pampered little society doesn't remember any of that. You think freedom is free because it was handed to you. You never saw the blood that got spilled to make it possible and you don't care. You think you have some God-given right to be a dumbass.

I put Russia in the same military group as China and North Korea. They are brought up in the pre-WWII Japan model of "the purpose of your life is to fulfill the obligations of the state." If Putin wants to sacrifice thousands of soldiers in pursuit of territorial gains, he will do so. Who is going to tell him he can't?
In the U.S. (or any Western country), we can have debates about military conflicts. We can protest wars. Try to do that in Russia or China and you wind up in either a gulag or a grave. The State owns you, birth to death.
Anyone who plots ways to win a conventional war is delusional. There is no more "conventional war." Future conflicts will be fought by computer guided devices, drones and military intelligence. The days of "our army vs your army" are past. Which is why the Pentagon needs to retire every officer and aide over the age of 50. They need new thinkers.
Albert Einstein had a prophecy that rings even truer today:
"“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
Want to try again? A 22-1 kill ratio against your pilots and aircraft? You got your asses handed to you. The NVA that "won" at Tet 68 got destroyed. It took them five years and a weak US President to recover. The Viet Cong ceased to be.
So what didn't we win militarily? Y'all got your asses stomped. If I couldn't be there I'm proud my father was.
You like to talk shit so open you lame-ass mouth. You know how many people died in that lame-ass war that your stupid ideology created? I had friends whose dads didn't come home. My dad came home shot up twice. You can fuck off and die lying loser pissant. I'm about sick of your bullshit. You and your fucked up shit couldn't compete with us if we tied BOTH hands behind our backs.
WE are hard corps and YOU are pussies that rely on lies.
