War games: America ‘keeps getting its ass handed to it’ by simulated Chinese, Russian attacks

The United States spends around $700 billion a year on its military but following a series of wargames over the past couple of years, “blue” forces continue to lose and lose big to simulated war with great powers like Russia and China.

Massive aircraft carriers are modern naval wonders but they’re also massive targets for increasingly accurate precision-guided missiles. The F-22 and F-35 dominate the air when they’re in the air, but they keep getting blown up on the ground. Also, the large air bases where they are stationed often go up in smoke as well, giving them nowhere to land. And while the Navy and Air Force have vulnerable, high-dollar systems that are constantly being destroyed during these games, the Army doesn’t fare much better.

Deja Vu all over again. In 1941, TIME magazine had an article bragging about our B-17 "Flying Fortress". and showed all the dead areas where the guns couldn't cover. Pilots in the Philippines read it and said that if they could get a copy, so could the Japs.

In the early days of the war, a newspaper bragged that the Japs were so stupid to sink our subs because they set their depth charges to explode too shallow. Someone read the article and our sub losses started to go up. The head of the Submarine Service clamped down and that's how they got the name "The Silent Service".
