Well number two had nukes so we couldn’t test our mettle against them. I don’t remember who exactly was three at the time but I’m sure they had nukes too. So fourth was the best scrimmage we could manage.It only shows how bad off the US military is when the best example of US military might is its "success" against the Iraqi army.
Yeah them and Russia both. We have to be prepared to fight them both (not at the same time hopefully) of course but talk about walk a tight rope.It's like he wants us to declare war on China just to see how it goes
20 years of war will do that to the public. It's not our fighting capabilities that are worrisome. It's our desire to handcuff our military and nation build that's problematicFrom 2018 to 2022, trust and confidence in the uniformed services plummeted from 70 percent to 48 percent (it was 45% in 2021), according to the Ronald Reagan Foundation and Institute survey. No other public institution has endured as steep and speedy a fall, the foundation warned.
Overall, though, the second heaviest public-perception millstone around the military’s neck is the performance and competence of presidents (59%) followed by that of the military’s civilian leadership (55%), then that of uniformed military leaders (52%), the foundation found.
Glad to know you have no fear of Red China's military capabilities.
I wonder if the Chinese know that all we have to do is flick a switch and all of their stolen technology will be used against them? If we weren't smart enough to do that at least, we are dumb as F.There I was, in Riyadh watching Scuds getting blown out of the sky by Patriot missiles. It was glorious.
