#2 Something the Donks could learn, but then again, that implies they have the ability to learn. As they desperately seek to get control of the House or Senate or the White House, one good bout of their 'cut and run' and surrender monkey behavior in any of those positions and they'll drive even more people to right in this country. They keep reading the rigged polls and think that while many people are tiring of the war, its not because they want Peace at Any Price[c]. Its because many of them dont like the touchy feelly conduct of it. They want to win. They, being traditional Americans, dont want to waste resources on long term programs when they know the direct approach will resolve the problems on the table - i.e. Iran and Syria. In other words, quit screwing around, get in there and killem.

#4 Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. The very thought of losing is hateful, to Americans. (from the George C. Scott speech in Patton)

A mismanaged - to some extent - war effort will do that as well.

#6 I think it's called "mugged by reality."

#7 Americans, historically, have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to go to war, because we prefer homelier activities like making a living and going fishing. However, once convinced, we tend to get stuck in "to the knife" -- if we absolutely must fight, we fight to win. Was Patton giving an inspirational speech to the troops before the battles, perhaps?

#8 TW, that was from the Patton movie (the first scene there of). The actual speech for the movie was put together from several speeches Patton gave throughout the war.
