I went back to read it because of this and just can't come to the same conclusion. My main point was that wars are difficult to sell to the public because of real people dying. He takes an example from the feudal era when such thing as public opinion didn't exist and says history proves otherwise. The rest didn't seemingly relate in any way to what I said.
I don't even disagree with most of what that rest was. I just can't see myself having a discussion with someone who addresses the quoted post briefly and then goes on to have a monologue. To paraphrase a little: I think history has proven well enough where it would have went from there on had I actually replied.
