Could World War II Have Been Won...

I think our current soldiers could Handle it.
But I dont think our current general population has the intestonal fortitude for it.
We've now been spoiled by two relatively short wars With relatively fw casualties. Even now.
And while every life lost is tragic the numbers currently lost wouldnt even have made the news during vietnam let alone WWII.
And already its being labled by some as a quagmire.

Imagine if the casualties of that war were happeneing today What would happen if after 4 years of war we lost the same 295,000 today that we lost in WWII the outcry that would arise.
Not to mention the shortages of everything from fuel to food for the war effort.
They were the "We" generation. We or at l;east most of us are the "Me" generation. And we want everything to be done right now including our wars.
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty
