    This is exactly why I do not believe the US military to be as mighty as it claims: there is no autonomy, and- as the Millenial Challenge games showed- it relies too much on technology and order.

      … You think the US military is weak because it relies on technology, and how it fared in a simulated war against itself?

      Are you forgetting stuff like how we’ve actually seen it go to war? Or how we’ve all become so used to how it fights that when Russia invaded Ukraine, we were all startled that it didn’t unfold like the typical US invasions do?

        It took twenty years to give up on trying to beat camel jockeys. At least the rice farmers that whipped their asses had trees to hide behind.
