A bunch of rag tag irregulars shooting off a $10,000 missile a day have completely defeated a hundred billion dollars worth of Western naval assets. Over the last ten years the same bunch has defeated $50 billion worth of Western supplied air power. If we send in troops and armor, most likely that would be defeated by their cheap drones. A trillion a year funneled to the MIC and this is what we’ve bought for the modern battlefield.
And they even did THAT wrong.
