“The problem with the American way of war is that, technologically, it can’t lose, but, in every other sense, it can’t win. No one in his right mind wants to get into a tank battle or a naval bombardment with the guys responsible for over 40 percent of the planet’s military expenditures. Which is why these days there aren’t a lot of tank battles. The consummate interventionist Robert Kagan wrote in his recent book that the American military ‘remains unmatched.’ It’s unmatched in the sense that the only guy in town with a tennis racket isn’t going to be playing a lot of tennis matches.”
