He will be long since retired, and not feel any sense of responsibility for helping put the country in a situation where such a war looks like a winnable proposition for the other side. I simply hope that he is right. That, for the next 30 years, America will only fight small brush wars against asymmetric opponents. The consequences of him being wrong are too horrific to dwell on for very long.
