    We still got wrecked, as the goals of the mission were not accomplished.

    Of course we slaughtered them, it was called the “turkey shoot” for a reason. They never had a prayer.

        I think the ‘we’ is a bit overstated.

        A couple of already rich people got a lot richer

          No, we spent TRILLIONS and achieved little besides killing the dumb hump we put there in the first place (and about 500k civilians).

          Exxon made a tidy profit, though.
