Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass
I disagree. It was total war because we chose to fight it as total war. We have chosen to fight limited wars ever since then.
I do agree that we are much better at fighting the limited wars we engage in. I cannot tell if we have the fortitude to wage a total war.
It was total war because we lacked absolute weaponry superiority. As a result, we had to throw everything we had into it. Nowadays, we have absolute weapon superiority...which is why we've lost less people in over ten years, in two wars, then allied forces lost in Normandy.
