The purpose of my question is to see if you can support your claim of "incompetence". Personally I think there is a big difference between incompetence and and suffering a temporary set back in a military context. Looks like you are not willing or able to support your claim, I understand.

And "restore peace" isn't a goal.

What was our goal during WWII? The higher up in authority you go, the more general the military goal becomes. I am not aware of any military that has had a "perfect" record (depending on how you define that), there have always been ebbs and flows during war.
