This Russian invasion has led to many huge improvements in the direction of military readiness in America, our Western allies and our Pacific allies.

While we can list problems and deficiencies we should also try and see the vast improvements of the last 2 years, we aren’t in the war but we get to see what we need and the wake-up calls are powerful enough that they are leading to concrete changes, not just in weapons manufacturing but also in new war awareness and cooperation among our global friends.

Readiness my a$$!! Explain all of these and there are many, many more reports. This doesn’t even touch on the asymmetric/irregular warfare issues. You are outright wrong:

...see the vast improvements of the last 2 years,....

I have a few friends in the HC who vehemently disagree with that statement.

Right now our national leadership and this civilian military components of it are the biggest disorganized Charlie Foxtrot many of us have ever seen! It needs to be dismantled and rebuilt or we won’t last!
