Yes.  This is the same military that didn&#x27;t have the popular support to complete its objectives in the ME, so they phoned it in.  That&#x27;s what happens to countries that go to war under false pretense - they get to half-send their militaries for political appeasement.<p>Were you implying that the REAL military was defeated in the ME?  Or, that they would somehow be unable to put down a guerrilla war?
