The whole "exit strategy" nonsense is a legacy of Vietnam. We've become so scared of getting stuck in a quagmire that we ended up compromising long-term goals in pursuit of short-term results. We got so focused on getting in and back out that we forgot to keep our eyes on the real way to attain that, namely victory.
And it's quite possible that the entire Western world may ultimately pay the price of our failure.
