Except it proved that the US is woefully unable to fight asymmetrical warfare, which has been known since 1968. The US has been really good at going in and defeating state forces in Grenada, Panama, Iraq, and maybe Afghanistan, but after that they are useless. Iran realized this and didn't even bother trying to meet the US on the battlefield and went right to asymmetrical warfare, hunkering down and making the war unbearably expensive for the US. Which is exactly what Van Riper predicted in 2002.
