> America's fighting forces will continue to carry out their mission, day in and day out, just like they always have.

What is the mission? And why is it taking an infinitely long time to carry out?

It changes over time, and ranges anywhere from the use of force to achieve an objective all the way to simply humanitarian. Sometimes a mix. (delivery of supplies + security) The world is not in a steady state, so as our needs change over time, so does the mission.
