'Failed miserably' -- Pentagon's wargame failure signals that the wokester generals are fighting the last wars
By Monica Showalter

The Pentagon's wokester generals, such as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, have touted critical race theory as the military's focus and a great success story.

The guy under him, though, didn't have such good news.

According to DefenseOne (Hat tip: Mickey Kaus):

    A brutal loss in a wargaming exercise last October convinced the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. John Hyten to scrap the joint warfighting concept that had guided U.S. military operations for decades.

    “Without overstating the issue, it failed miserably. An aggressive red team that had been studying the United States for the last 20 years just ran rings around us. They knew exactly what we're going to do before we did it,” Hyten told an audience Monday at the launch of the Emerging Technologies Institute, an effort by the National Defense Industrial Association industry group to speed military modernization.   

    The Pentagon would not provide the name of the wargame, which was classified, but a defense official said one of the scenarios revolved around a battle for Taiwan. One key lesson: gathering ships, aircraft, and other forces to concentrate and reinforce each other’s combat power also made them sitting ducks.

    “We always aggregate to fight, and aggregate to survive. But in today’s world, with hypersonic missiles, with significant long-range fires coming at us from all domains, if you're aggregated and everybody knows where you are, you're vulnerable,” Hyten said. 

    Even more critically, the blue team lost access to its networks almost immediately.

Obama purged 4,500 officers from the military and what he left us with are folks concerned about transgenders and such.

I doubt the USA military has ever been this depleted of leaders, and all the hardware one could ever have is not worth spit with weak leaders at the helm.

Another thing that Trump did nothing about.  Not once did I hear him say anything about strengthening the leadership of the military after Obama.  Merely spending money was not addressing the single greatest problem.
