". . . if the campaign is protracted . . ."

Some advice for the President, Secretary of Defense, and Joint Chiefs:

When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.
Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.

—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
