You are so right. What you just said probably messes with peoples understanding of the world, but it is true.

When my grandfather was tasked to charge the Luzon hill in the Philippines he told his lieutenant that all his men would die.

Officer reply?

Do not create a bottleneck for the men coming behind you.

All that was said.

Our military had the japanese surrounded. They could have easily starved them out.

Why didnt we?

Why did we send men after men up those hills in Luzon as an act of attrition?

We did not have to and thousands of Americans would have been saved.

Our government is run by imbeciles and psychopaths.

Only explanation imo.
