We need special operations, but since 9/11 there has been too much emphasis on special ops and small unit tactics and now the world has changed. It took 15 years to rebuild the conventional forces after Vietnam to the level you saw in Desert Storm and in my opinion, that is where we should be concentrating. IMO, the current state of the Army, and military in general, is at least as back as it was post Vietnam.
If there is one thing that the Russian Ukraine is that high tech weapons without the depth of training to integrate them effectively on a modern battlefield are just targets. Ukraine had trained with Western Weapons since 2014 and still have been ineffective in keeping the Russians at bay. IMO, the Russian tactics/organization/integration are likely to be the blueprint for peer on peer conflicts in the future.

I concur. We are in as woeful--if not worse--a situation as we were in the late '70s. . . .

What I take from this: Our supposed prestigious units are not fully manned? How and when did this happen?

About the time people started bailing out after Slow Joe took over as HMFIC. . . .
