Bosnia was so obviously one of America’s greatest victories. Proper application of military and political power, then almost no military was used to completely and decisively end that war. Show me any other war that was won so quickly with so little expense? Bosnia was a perfect example of leaders who understood the purpose of war. To take a conflict back to a negotiation table. A victory so complete that Milosevic even negotiated himself out of office.

If you did not understand that spectacular victory in Bosnia, then the strategic purpose of a military was never learned. Bosnia was a text book perfect example of how military and political power should be used in a team effort.

Asking that question either implies zero knowledge of a military's purpose and history. Or I don't get what must be a joke.

The Anglo-Zanzibar War. 45 minutes, followed by gin tonics and a lovely game of polo.
