Have they ever used any of that stuff, you know, in a WAR?
nope.
Cause we know that you can only use stuff in a current war that you used in the last war.
Not to be confrontational, but think about what 1 artillery shell, one 9 volt battery and a hacked cell phone or garage door opener can do to our troops. Our troops with the best equipment, air cover, ground radar, anti-mortar shield, kevlar, high speed medical care... you got an old shell, maybe even add a couple of hundred gallons of fuel, a metal plate bent in the middle and you can have a shaped charge that cost about 1/10000th of what the vehicle and manpower you can destroy. Or even Multiply that by a couple of hundred thousand men armed with crappy rifles, no air cover, poor food supply, malnutrition, no armor, minimal artillery except for rudimentary mortars and tell me how we kicked the crap out of the Vietnamese again.
War on the battlefields are just the endgame. The real war is that of ideas and cultures and we are losing. Seriously, when did you ever think in your life that God or prayer would be demeaned and made to seem ..... evil, while two men humping each other or pregnant non-deployable women would be the prime concern for the JCS. THAT is the war that we aren't winning.
It's just sad to actually remember that I said the Our Father before every football game, that a man could send his kids to school and not have them taught that Christians are stupid, our country sucks or that living off the government nipple is honorable and expected.
Our doctrine for a two front war is gone, the Monroe doctrine is a footnote and our brave warriors are being deliberately made to fight in unwinnable rules of engagement or prosecution by REMF that blunt the aggressive nature of war.
The only joy that I hope to have is the look of our leaders and the quislings in the press and entertainment's faces as they are put up against the wall. Or given the Mussolini treatment by the parasite classes here in the states.... priceless.... just priceless.
