In the summer of 2002, the U.S. military spent $250 million, after two years of planning, to answer a question it had already decided. The question was: what happens if America goes to war with an Iran-like power in the Persian Gulf? The answer it had decided on was: America wins. What it got instead was a retired Marine general sinking the fleet in ten minutes and then filing a 21-page classified critique that received no response, forcing him to walk out in disgust.
