You said wars should go as quick as possible while affecting the lowest amount of innocent lives, but within reason. That statement..doesn't really tell me a lot. I think literally everyone would agree with that. I'm asking what kinds of things should the military be allowed to do/not to do, what kind of oversight do you think is too much, etc?

No, CL, I don't think that you believe that we should "kill everyone in sight."

As I said, I don't know enough about this kind of thing to know exactly what the military should/should not be allowed to do.

I was referring specifically to the Vietnam war, and that the way we fought it set too many unreasonable limits to the military for the sake of the politicians back home saving face. And in the end that just ended up hurting more lives, as the most innocent people among us are still suffering the consequences of how that war was fought, 4 decades later.

You won't get any argument from me regarding the Vietnam war. It was a shitshow in every facet of the word. I was more asking about your thoughts on warfare in general. Sorry, I probably should've explained that a bit better.
