I wonder if our woke military would last a month in a real war:
“Troops from the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands and United Arab Emirates won “decisive” victories over U.S. Marines during a five-day war game last month in California’s Mojave Desert, reports first revealed Wednesday.”
I wonder if our woke military would last a month in a real war:
—
A month? Very optimistic. How about hours?
US war games are predicated on
a predetermined outcome with predetermined resources ;
obtaining air superiority in the opening hours ;
are only prepared to see moderate casualties (dozens at most) ;
have no plan for a long land war in Europe ;
expect to receive a few dozen artillery and some missiles ;
maintain secure command channels and satellite GPS links. Just a few items - the list is long
Bodies would be burned or buried where they fell - if it was even possible to retrieve them.
Basically, the US has trained for a ‘kinder gentler’ war with limited casualties since WWII. Russia has never forgotten the long war with the Germans and maintains those capabilities. US forces have never faced an enemy like the Russian military - its full speed ahead and no retreat to the tune of massed artillery fire and massed mechanized units.
All the while the Russian world class jammers are denying US communications across the entire battlefield. Helicopter units last seconds under withering missile barrages, troops are overrun and ground beneath steel treads while receiving hundreds of HE rounds every minute. Drones seek out US tanks and Command centers destroying them as fast as they are located.
Basically the only thing that would give the Russian army pause is the use of tactical nukes and that would be reciprocated etc.
