Good. Now fuck off.
Maybe they should have focused on fighting capability instead of fat contracts for useless piece of shit jets that don’t work
Damn. Anyway time to pump more money into corn subsidies
It’s propaganda but it’s also true facts:
-
The US military has 10 year-old doctrines to deal with 20 year-old wars with 40 year-old tech that was developed for a completely different kind of war. They’re going to be the French at the start of WW1 trying to replay 1870.
-
Look at the average American
-
Power projection being the focus of the military has resulted in a force that’s overworked, complex technology that’s undermaintained, and way too much investment in legacy systems that won’t apply to a war with China or Iran.
If the US ever goes to war with either of those two countries or one like Russia that can endlessly absorb attrition, it’s so immediately fucked. Only air superiority and the untested defenses of a carrier group separate it from collapsing into mutiny like it did in Vietnam.
-
Probably the two best modern militaries in the world right now are Ukraine and Russia, not even kidding. Experience is just so fucking important in running an army that everyone whose senior enlisted and officers aren’t experienced and tries to fight a war just turns it into a shitshow, at least for the first few months until they get their heads on straight.
The most recent real combat experience the US has had was in Fallujah, twenty years ago. Everyone who fought in that is retired now, and everyone currently in the military with combat experience either only has experience acting as glorified police officers or doing special forces crimes and there’s not nearly enough of the latter type to fill out the whole military.
Not to split hairs, but I wouldn’t even call Fallujah “real combat experience” since that consisted of collectively punishing an entire city just because 4 Blackwater bozos got their skulls bashed in by the locals. It was basically large scale revenge carried out against a civilian population by the US military on behalf of some fucking private contractors. Whatever pretenses there were of fighting an insurgency were secondary to that. They treated every “combat aged male” as an insurgent and kidnapped all the women and children, doing mass family separation.
