Not a problem, let's make excuses. We have this immense military and we invade
with an army smaller than theirs? What was the point of that? Now three years
later the military says this war cannot be won militarily. So why bring up
that their army was the 4th or 5th biggest in the world?

I suppose this is another of LeGault?s example. If you had a chance to think
about it you might have seen flaws in your statement, e.g., we fought the 4th
or 5th largest army in the world with an army smaller than theirs.

"Good grief, to fight what was something like the 4th or 5th largest army in
the world and stay long enough to get a democratic regime going and the
infrastructure and economy established and have casualties of under 3,000 is
amazing. That there are still people who can look at these facts and see a
failure is also amazing."
They're the 4th or 5th largest army in the world, but our military is 15 times
larger than all the militaries of the world combined, a fact conveniently
overlooked in the spinning process.
