Americans are getting used to "bloodless" precision warfare and total air superority from the get go. Any conflict with Russia or China would involve casualties that make 6K dead in Iraq and Afghanistan over 12 years pale in comparison. We would be looking at casualty numbers like that in hours, maybe days, not years of conflict.

I was at an Army base recently. Within 5 minutes, I saw a half dozen grossly overweight women in uniform, with 2 wearing sneakers with their ACU.

If a real shooting war pops up, I don't know if we could mobilize.

Well now, thats a whole ‘nother bag of worms. Are we “fit to fight” any war that doesn’t involve RPVs?
