So much of the military budget is just funneling money to contractors as opposed to actually getting results. The F-35 is a joke. The last time the US military was actually tested by a strong opponent was in Vietnam, and was now 50 years ago. And the US lost that one. I'm wondering, if there was a conventional, non-nuclear war with say China in a few more years, is it possible we'd see the shocking result of the US military getting absolutely embarrassed. I mean, it's obvious I think that the US wouldn't win that anyway, but I'm talking about like, the world realizing all the trillions spent on the vaunted US military didn't really mean much and other than the nukes, the US is actually militarily weak?
If you're familiar with Warhammer Fantasy/AoS, you know how the Skaven are incompetent, cowardly, and are bad at group tactics because all Skaven just want to see themselves as the big hero, instead of just working within a group, and the way they win is relying entirely on their absurd numbers and firepower? The US military is basically the skaven.
So you're telling me that my skaven weapons team doomstack is not the world's greatest army....
I always got Dark elf vibes from them. An empire in North America built on raiding and looting by a bunch of slavers who project force from floating cities.
