My point being: The military structure really hasn't changed in a while. We were never armored in such a way as to resiliently withstand urban warfare and terrorist attacks. The intelligence community have consisted of the same personnel (or similiar people, cabinet-wise) for a couple of administrations. The method in which we gather intelligence in the military and use that intelligence in interrogation (and the morality involved) has, not really, devolved. General Pershing has never been disproven of burying Philippine muslims with pigs as a means of psychological intimidation. Just hypothetically musing, but it would be my conjecture that the only difference between the present administration and a democratic one, given that they were in power at the start of this involvement, is that they probably wouldn't have involved themselves, at least not in the same bumbling way.
