I was just tossing out a wildcard. My point was that a single modern military unit just doesn’t have the number of rounds for guns, armor or artillery to take on a nation.
My point was the ONLY way a modern military unit could take over an ancient nation would be IF that nation surrendered to the invading “gods”. I just used the example of Cortez to give historical precedent for it.
This is all just hypothetical and I was tossing in my brain-stormed 2 cents.
A Viet Nam era supply chain study concluded that each trigger-puller was supported by 350 people, from Combat Service Support units back through the entire supply chain.
That MEU better be fully equipped!
