I could go either way on this. Having a bunch of armed people and vehicles running around unfamiliar territory basically guarantees you’re gonna have accidents. Heck, people die during training in as controlled an environment as we can manage.
OTOH, that amount of accidents compared to only a few acknowledged combat losses is a bit suss.
Shh, there’s no room for rationality here! Obviously the US military, which is the biggest funded military in the world by several degrees, is collapsing because they’re all big, mean, stupid, poo-poo heads and no other reason! Everyone knows the US is minutes away from collapse and absolutely doesn’t have the strength to draw this conflict out for multiple decades despite the trillions of dollars spent to ensure exactly that outcome!
Most of that money actually does not go to ensuring that outcome, most of that money goes to ensuring Northrop Grumman execs can get a third infinity pool and bigger sex slave dungeon. If the money went towards what you’re saying it goes towards, the USS Gerald Ford would have functioning toilets.
