Exactly his point.
A great book is "The New American Militarisim" which came out last year I believe. Really looks into the impact of Vietnam and the all volunteer military have had on the psyche of the Pentagon and policy makers.
One key theme of the book is that since it's so easy to just use force, we've lost all ability to negotiate political solutions.
From Clinton to Bush 43 this couldn't be more apparent.
