    The winning or losing was almost always secondary. The main thing is to spend a load of money on wars. We've never failed at that.

    Military skill was a use it or lose it thing. I wouldn't be surprised if all of the wars that the US has been fighting have been intentional, specifically in order to maintain skilled soldiers.
