Our military was designed for a massed enemy. It needed to be retooled for onesie, twosie forces. I offered the solution but was under bid by a group that failed. I also offered a solution to the IEDs but JIEDO was stuck on mega stupid.
But the real story in the end is that it was given back to the Taliban.
Literal nonsense. If you really believe that then you are hopelessly brainwashed.
There is no universe in every possible other world that this is plausible. A ridiculous example of the BS narrative foisted on the world.
And Russians ground forces are not a serious challenge to superior air forces and superior naval forces. And USA still owns those advantages over every other country, by a HUGE margin. Not even close. The USA’s greatest weakness isn’t our military capability. It’s our sold out political class betraying us from within.
Seriously, this is such bullshit it's beyond belief.
The US doesn't have the logistics to occupy Crimea, let alone win anything against a +- peer opponent.
You literally need about 100x of everything to fight a land war similar to WWII. No body has that much of anything, and only China could potentially make enough war materiel, but they wouldn't have the logistics to fight anyone except Russia.
More like the mega steroid users long after they stopped using steroids. The army today is nothing like what it was during the Gulf War. And it was a coalition of like 6-7 countries, all of which are either no longer friendly towards the USA or have armies that are now completely pathetic.
The US makes like 20 tanks a year, and they aren't new tanks. They're refurbished shit from years ago. The US couldn't field 1000 of them, much less multiple thousands.
And this is exactly the case across every single military system except the space satellite and drone stuff.
And Iraq wasn't occupied during the Gulf War, despite there being like a million guys involved in the conflict. Most of the damage was done by a massive bombing campaign due to supreme air superiority.
Air superiority that wouldn't exist today against Russia in any shape or form. Not only because the planes no longer exist to achieve this (you have 1/2 as many bombers as there were in the early 90s), but because Russia has one of the best integrated air defense systems in the world. Literally only 4-5 countries in the entire world have systems like this.
If you can't use bombers (of which you have like 100 to begin with), you need to use men (which no longer want to enlist so you don't have enough), or tanks (which you don't have in sufficient battle-ready numbers) with artillery (which is wildly depleted after all the shells were given to Ukraine).
The only thing that would work is tactical nukes, but good luck there considering Russia has better and newer nuclear everything.
You would be surprised at how fast the vaunted air defense system would go down. It would take very little time to achieve air superiority. Then, every military vehicle west of a given line would be toast in short order.
Tanks are for the victory party.
My primary concern would be spare parts. The military runs on spare parts. The democrats always deplete our stockpiles of these. But I seem to recall Trump topping off our supply.
We would probably add some NATO exchange pilots to optimize sortie rates.
Like I said above. The only true weakness is our traitorous political class. And Vietnam is a perfect example of this. We could have wiped their entire country off the face of the earth. But politicians were running that war. Not the military.
So we can blame you specifically for making the US army a lopsided lolcow that specializes in force projection that it can't project because all the "cool toys" are too expensive to actually use?
Seriously anyone who refers to weapons as "cool toys" instead of "tools" is, ironically, a giant tool. The type of douche who thinks he's a leet haxxor for knowing about SQL injection attacks.
Fake news. The US would win a conventional war in about three weeks. Accelerated warfare. Nukes are the wildcard.
USA lost even to Taleban.

It’s not WWII or the Cold War anymore. The Gulf War took 45 days against the third largest army. We are now on mega steroids compared to then.

Just like Vietnam, we had air superiority, fully supplied combat units and a Navy with no adversary. Went well as it could have.
The Vietnam war was a case of the coach throwing the game.
This^. Winning was not the goal. Where's the MIC payoff winning a war?
Brainwashed. Deep state narrative.

Three weeks lol
It’s what I used to do. I am the guy behind most of the cool toys and strategies.
Yeah it’s this sort of blindness and ego that got the US exactly where it is today.
Give yourself a big ol’ pat on the back cool guy.
Our definition of Revolutionary: Change the nature of warfare.

Tools are such a mundane and political expression. That is why I used toys to get the right people’s attention.
