7. Unwinnable
That is a fact.
I guess I phrased it wrong.

Why are we persisting?
Is it in the hope that we can get a pipeline there?

You said:
"Why do so many people assume two seemingly contradictory things about the use of American military force overseas? Why do they assume that
1) It must be for some hidden, greedy reason and
2) It's doomed to failure. "

The answer to 1. and 2. is YES

And why is it necessary to use "American military force overseas"?
