    Default U.S. support for this war represents a strategic and moral failure.

    An article from Lawfare by a SME, although the focus is Yemen there is a wider application. Daniel Byman as Editor adds:
    ...it has lessons for similar efforts when allies wage "limited" wars. Far from being an efficient, low-cost use of resources, Rand argues that these wars are not likely to achieve the results Washington wants, yet will implicate the United States in whatever goes wrong.
