I do not understand why the armed forces have to swing from one extreme to the next.

Design everything for massive land battles in Europe.
Design everything for terrorist/insurgent battles.
Design everything for battling China on islands.

How about a little balance?

We always train and prepare for the last war.

The enemy gets a vote as many have said. Kinda complicates decisions about who the enemy will be at some time in the future.

And US taxpayers vote for people who don't know or have the Armed Services in our best interests going back to President Wilson before WWI. And then make choices that don't defend America.

p.s. Senator Tom Cotton, R-AR wrote Only the Strong which explains these issues.

Scout Snipers in the mid 90’s got a lot of heat for SS tattoos and there was talk of doing away with them in the mid/late 90’s.

Oddly in Afghanistan and Iraq, snipers were highly desirable and used.
