Either we fight to WIN or we should go home. War is a ugly, dirty business. You don't win wars by playing nice. Our soldiers are among the very best in the world. We should be able to trust them to do the right thing. Because 999,999 times out of 1,000,000 they do.
This isn't a good comparison but it's like getting a pass down ice and trying to figure out where to put your shot.

You only get one chance and you have to take it.

You can tell how a 'business' is run by talking to the 'troops' and asking about the 'boss'.


Now? we have to wait and see.
