US could never have won World War II under current circumstances. Media and Democrat party today actively root for the enemy. US soldiers are taught they must practically die before they can kill the enemy. This was so under George Bush as well-Mark Levin

8/1/14, "Mark Levin: We Couldn't Have Won World War II Under Current Circumstances," Real Clear Politics

From 7/31/14 show: "Mark Levin: "I really don't think we could have won World War II under the current circumstances....We have a media in this country that roots for the enemy. We have a Democrat party in this country that roots for the enemy. These rules that are now applied to war -- I'm talking about our own men and women in uniform in Afghanistan, in Iraq previous to that -- are so absurd, so confining, so self-defeating.

You know we now have commanders responding to civilian leadership that is so whacked out that we have men and women in uniform, in combat, who are expected to die before they kill the enemy in a certain way. In a certain way. You're only allowed to fight in a certain way. There is no way we would've won World War II with generals and admirals of the sort we have today with a president of the kind we have today, quite frankly with a George W. Bush. There's no way. With the media we have today, which maybe reporting Information about our movements.

There's no we could have pulled off a D-day. I don't believe it. It would be on the front page of the New York Slimes or the Washington Compost. And what would they do? Start adding up the number of civilians we killed in Berlin. The number of civilians we killed in Okinawa. Or the allies. And then compare them -- now wait a minute. We're killing more of them than their killing of us. No fair. You're overwhelming the enemy, no fair! Well, they started it. Too bad. Well, they're Nazis. Oh well, so be it.

Listen to the arguments. Listen to the moral relativism which is immoral on its face. No, there's no way that we could have won World War II. No way we could pull off some of these battles with a Democrat party of the sort we have today, with a media of the kind we have today and really a suicide wish. These are wars. We are sending somebody's son or daughter overseas. To be killed or kill....They're not going overseas as part of the Peace Corps
. You send somebody's son and daughter overseas, into combat, you give them every advantage to win and to win." (Mark Levin Show, July 31, 2014)"

"The United States has not won a war since 1945."

8/1/14, "Conventional military has lost power," Boston Globe, opinion, by Stephen Kinzer

"Horrific conflicts are shaking the Middle East, and war has erupted in Eastern Europe. The United States seems unable to shape the course of events. This is despite the fact that we have by far the most powerful military in the world....

The United States has not won a war since 1945 — unless you count the defeat of Grenada in 1983. Despite the application of huge resources, and enormous sacrifices in blood and treasure, we lost major wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. This is despite the fact that by conventional standards, our military is the world’s best."...

=====================

Added: The Boston Globe author doesn't reflect Mr. Levin's views, but observes the same reality from a different angle, ie that the US is unable to win wars anymore, and hasn't won a war since WWII.
