The US never learns that war in the middle east will never be fought and won in a week. The region is primed to make war last "forever."

Historically, this has been a feature and not a bug since forever wars provided a steady demand for the military industry. The difference here is that Iran controls escalation dominance, and the US can't just decide when to dial things up or down as convenient.
