Forgot

I'm not going to go maudlin.

I'm going for pissed off.

Why?

Because we didn't ever get payback and defeat the problem that started it lo thirteen years ago.

We got bored?  Lost focus?  Refused to look it in the face and see it for what it is?

When it happens again, it happens because we let it because we refused to accept what war is and that war can be waged against you even if you refuse to wage it back.

We don't win wars anymore as we get ever better at winning battles.  We win battles then squander the victories and waste our best on nothing.
