I'm hoping this is actually true and not just armchair-general speculation, because it would be hilarious.
Especially stupid because the main killer of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan were IEDs. Over 20 years in the sandbox and they didn't think other countries would create something more sophisticated than fertilizer and a cell phone?
Exactly, didn't the US military have a whole new line of combat vehicle specifically to deal with all that?
Reading the history of prior MRAP-like vehicles is an escalating series of
. Originally conceived of by Rhodesia's military, with a lot of further development by apartheid-era South Africa, especially by their police.
tbh all this talk about "tactics" and "doctrines" sounds like complete bullshit to me. There isn't a military in the world that knows exactly what it's doing or how to fight a modern war
What's the quote? "We're always preparing how to fight the last war." I think that's how it goes.
