    Now you see the real legacy of Bush Presidency and Iraq. It has little to do with COIN and has everything to do with credibility. No one trusts their government is telling them the truth when it comes to foreign intelligence and everyone thinks that any military action inevitably leads to a quagmire.

    The Army might as well only train for high intensity conflicts because they will not get used until the Chinese are landing in Seattle.
