The US Is Unprepared for the Next War
 
Published August 25, 2025 at 2:04pm ET
 
Earlier this year, speaking at a press conference in Qatar, President Donald Trump categorically declared that “nobody can beat us.” He continued, “We have the strongest military in the world, by far. Not China, not Russia, not anybody!”
 
We do have a strong military, but we are woefully unprepared to fight a modern war. That’s because, despite all of the major technological advances in warfighting in recent years, manpower is still absolutely critical, and understanding how those boots on the ground interact with emerging drone warfare is still in its infancy in the U.S. military.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Of course we're unprepared.  How can you be prepared without LGBTQ or trannie generals leading the way? :whistle:

Actually, I think almost all statements of the form, "[Name of nation] is unprepared for the next war," have been true ever since military technology started advancing with the introduction of the longbow.  Everyone is always ready to fight the last war with the last war's technology.
