“Chicom military; no combat experience, “
My cousin who serves really CLOSE to the DMZ in Sokor, told me many years ago, if there was a one vs one battle with US and chicoms, they will LOSE.
Why? When was the last time china was at “war’ with anyone? The closest are the border “skirmishes” with India.
That’s why the deep state sends us to idiotic wars like Iraq 2003 to train our soldiers. We gain experience everytime, they dont. and that’s why they hesitate to invade Taiwan.
This is the one and only thing we have gained from our decades of strategic over-reach. It is muted by the fact that far too much of our treasure went to MIC contractors not for high end weaponry - there are only a few who can deliver supersonic fighters, high tech missiles and advanced submarines - but rather logistics and sustainment, developing training courses to teach people who to be woke and utterly useless stuff like that.
Battle tested men, weapons, doctrine and support systems are vital and are the huge advantage we have enjoyed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's the advantage the Royal Navy had over the French Navy, whose ships were arguably superior. The French returned to port for refit every time the got salt water on the taff-rail of their beautiful new ships. The British stayed at sea for years at a time fixing what needed to be fixed to keep themselves at sea.
Just remember the period we went through where the US Navy couldn't row a boat across a harbor with crashing it into something or going aground. It's a huge concern.
