Change happens rapidly, but war readiness is not about change it is about relentless, tiresome drills and exercises. I would have thought a basic drill on a destroyer would be object avoidance and training on critical back up systems.
We have the most educated forces in the history of war, unlike our ww2 vets. And yet, here we are. Impotent.
These ships were sent out non mission capable. The crews were under trained on 2 ships. To call our entire military impotent just isn’t true.
The paradigm has shifted. You are still living in the old paradigm. You just haven’t realized it yet.
