I’m convinced that the US needs to differentiate and separately fund resources for limited and unlimited wars. The military has squandered trillions fighting limited wars with assets designed for more conventional wars. It has also led to a less effective effort as the needs of operators on the ground are often disregarded for what the services want to provide to justify funding. Finally, legally separating the two would allow a better application of ROE and help prevent the current state of never ending “war”. The goal being to constantly strive to downgrade from unlimited war, to limited war, to state department diplomacy, with different funding for each and understandable reasons and criteria for transition between the categories.
