It has been baffling to watch. Of
course the short answer is that the
military is slow to adjust.

When I was in the Army, very briefly,
 09-13, I was in the 1-509th Infantry.
For those who don't know, that's part
of JRTC, a training center for the 
Army. Around the time I was getting out
we were transitioning from replicating
Taliban and Iraqi militias to starting
to mimic what we percieved Iranian 
ground forces might might like. Now,
in 2011-2012, no one was thinkin of 
drones in the way that you see from
Ukraine, Russia, and Iran. We had 
a small set of drones, I don't know
the exact count, just for
reconaissance.


Now, that was 13 years ago, but it's
only since the Ukraine invasion tht
the full scope of drone warfare 
has revealed itself between near
peer militaries. So it's not 
surprising tht the US hasn't had
time to really craft actual doctrine
and prepare for this fight at scale.


Which is more reason why this war is
fuckin stupid, we haven't even 
adjusted to the situation on the
ground yet and we want to go in
swining our dicks. Well our 
cock is about to get teeth marks.
