A US veteran in Ukraine said the US has not been sufficiently training for war with a near-peer or peer-level adversary, like Russia or China.

Which war did the US fight that wasn't insurgent except WW2?
I mean US barely participated in WW2, and then went on pretending they won it.
saying the US 'barely participated' in WW2 is pretty egregious, just because the USSR did the majority of heavy lifting and very much could have won by itself doesn't mean that's what happened.
the majority of post-normandy heer formations deployed in the western front were the best equipped ones, the western front was denser than the eastern front and lend lease was large enough in scale to certainly have made a material difference. that doesn't mean that the US won the war by itself, or that the american sacrifice was anything comparable, but this sort of revisionism comes off as pretty crankish tbh.
but the Gulf War wasn't ”insurgent”.[thinks] I guess the first phase of the Iraq War (but the CIA bribed most of Iraq's officer corps not to fight)
admitting that they have been bullying weaker nations, yeah ok
uh it's fighting terrorism, sweaty 💅
the POLICE are to UVALDE as the MILITARY is to AMERICA'S NEXT PEER CONFLICT
