Pener Kropoopkin posted:The only real takeaway from this is that if you fight a near-parity country on their home turf then you're going to get owned. There isn't some sort of gap the military could bridge by throwing more money at the DoD. The Chinese and Russians have played catch up and there's no going back. Yeah, any world war 3 is going to be hell for the countries on which the battles are actually fought. We've been lucky that we haven't had to fight a major war in the US since the mechanization of war. Though honestly, it would be a loving miracle if a real WW3 happens that involves bombing of the participants (ie Russia/China/US/EU/India/Iran) and no nukes get thrown around. I have trouble imagining a case where China bombs a US city that doesn't result in us launching a shitload of nukes, so I personally think this is all just posturing

Typo posted:but why would you suppress the results of war games where you get owned if you want additional funding? Because they high ranking officers would probably get fired as congress/executive branch tries to find competent people to turn poo poo around, and the MIC would be forced to stop profiteering like crazy and actually spend the money effectively. SO its better for them to just pretend that the status quo is cool and good
