Length of Operation Iraqi Freedom: 8 years and counting
Number of American casualties: 4,474
Length of Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan: 10 years and counting
Number of American casualties: 1,747
Length of Libyan civil war: six months
Number of American casualties: zero
What did we fail at doing exactly, other than not killing Americans and letting something resolve itself in six months instead of shitting the diplomacy bed for a decade?
