I’ve been posting about this for years and it is one of the benefits for the West coming out of this war, the seeing of this and the overall consumption of men, ships, air, weaponry, fuel, etc. if we have a major war with China for instance where all the stops are pulled out.
I have been calling it bench depth, where Divisions are being overrun and ammo and food not reaching the front, large units are being cut off and on their own, chaos and uncertainty everywhere on the front, can our military supply it, and can our soldiers hold up mentally and emotionally.
The same folks who predicted 40,000 casualties in Desert Storm.
