I always think about the millennium challenge where the USA Armed forces came together to run a test, the USA’s military vs Iran, and Iran decimated the USA so much they had to stop the test, change the rules son the USA has to win, and then declared victory for the USA
Ok I’ve never heard of this before but omfg it wasn’t even the US military vs a unified Iran, it was one faction in Iran/Iraq! Though we’d have to add a few things to make it more accurate like US domestic unrest, folks in the US Navy sabotaging their own ship’s plumbing and having an addled pedo in charge. What could the modeling have predicted if they’d just thought ahead when planning the test?

This is more than 20 years ago. Things could be better now, or even worse given the current administration. My biases lean toward worse.
When you think about it, the U.S. Armed Forces really is just a big casino you can bleed for money
This is amazing, thank you.

Funny, my mom told me about this years ago but didn’t mention that it was about Iraq or Iran.
