Warriors Hate War
Glenn Sturm
Why, after over 100 Sigma war games showed us that we could not win, did we still go into Vietnam? Why, if one military doctrine irrefutably indicates that it can succeed time after time, is it not adopted in every military action? Why do warriors hate war? Because their bosses don't understand it. What's the mission? How do we win? What is winning? Bush said that winning was when the major combat operations were ceasing. Maybe so, but knowing how to win a war while striving not to be in one makes a real warrior. Warriors Hate War-Strategy, politicization, successes, and failures of the American military by Glenn Sturm explores the military actions since WW11 through lenses that reveal alternate outcomes and pose frameworks that could inform decision-making for the future of war and, more importantly, peace.
