Yet Germany has been occupied for decades without it being regarded as a waste of resources. But then, that was a cosy inactive job, which was seen as being useful strategically. Perhaps the PNAC and its followers envisioned something similar in Iraq, inappropriate comparisons to Germany have been made frequently.

It's not occupation itself, but dealing with guerilla warfare in a hostile environment the military is ill-equipped for.

This may well be so, but it doesn't reflect on individuals voicing their opinions based on their morality.
