What this debacle in Iran has made me consider is if the US military every really had “an edge.” It seems to me that all the US military can accomplish is small highly targeted operations like going after a single person. Attempting to actually fight a war has been ineffective for 75 years: lost to Chinese and Korean peasants, lost to Vietnamese peasants, lost to Iraqi and Afghani peasants. What did anyone expect when trying to fight against a military with near-peer technology?
The problem is they got rid anybody competent for skin tone, genitals, and a desire to please dear leader. Put a drunken tv personality in charge of the military and a pants shitting, accused child rapist, convicted felon as Commander in Chief
