“Winning” Iraqi wars had a worse effect on the US military thinking than losing WWII on the German. How do you think your approach will work against the enemy that has near peer capability and refuses to give up?
How about we make sure there is no “near peer.”
We leverage our tech, size of industry and manufacturing, access to resources, our wealth to afford the “most of the best.”
Where we have gaps or shortfalls, we leverage our allies with their capabilities to ensure we maintain a profound advantage and minimize our casualties.
I’m not addressing the changes in our society and how that impacts our force, or the poor decisions our politicians make, but let’s ensure that materially our troops have what it takes to dominate the battle-space.
This is not a sport.
I am not looking to make it challenging for us or fair for the enemy.
Let’s keep it like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LLPs4o06lrM
