"I was a success" Well, yes you where when over 600,000 of you were deployed in the span of 5 years. You know you're a success when you're the most-produced 4-wheel drive military vehicle to exist.

Magnificent!! although WAR, in it's very basic form is BAD, things like these came into the world because of it.
