He has good points.
The US military though tends to be much more squared away, procedurally, than most world militaries. The US military, as I have observed it, functions with a truly extraordinary degree of order and discipline.
I think quite a few armies would be as neglectful or more so. Sometimes much more so.
We do OK.
Partially that is because we’ve never fought a peer or even near peer for a long time. So our battle field operating systems stay in tact, discipline, and morale stay in tact for the most part.
Put any system under enough stress, and it begins to fall apart. Entropy creeps in.
We have it too, example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse
I would argue, our highly “squared away” army today would fall apart pretty fast if things get really bad.
