ne of the most far-reaching consequences of the war against Iraq was the way that conflict left
Americans with the impression that all modern wars could be fought quickly, cleanly and with very few U.S. casualties. Today,
the Pentagon and weapons-makers use that impression to promote scores of costly high-tech weaponry. We must provide our
forces with whatever they need, but no one, especially our government, should ever believe that war is easy or requires less
than the ultimate sacrifice.
