Thanks, I hadn't known that. Still, if the purpose was to seize and utilize assets as the above, then the US is doing it exactly ass backwards. One does not destroy infrastructure if the goal is to slave the economy for production. The US has exactly done that and must rebuild entire sections of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Who benefits from the infrastructure being destroyed? Military contractors, and the few really ballsy civvies. The resource whores (energy giants, mining ops) benefit not one iota from losing infrastructure, and instead absolutely depend on it.

For the goal of seizing resources, we've done the worlds most lousiest job.
