Consider the major wars the USA has participated in during the last 70 years: World War II, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. Even though the USA spends more on the military than any other nation, it still managed to lose four of those six wars. Why? Because most of the time, it was in the wrong. It attacked other nations unprovoked. Defending the homeland inspires soldiers to fight. Thus the ‘enemies’ were inspired and the Americans were not.
