Why the US military doesn't win...
[ZH] U.S. Military Gets Walloped In ExerciseIn a recent training exercise in California, British Royal Marines beat their U.S. Marine opponents so soundly that the U.S. Marines asked for a mulligan halfway through the exercise. Afterwards, a Twitter spat about the exercise, between a former U.S. Marine officer and a current U.S. Army officer/planner/"rescue dog mom" exposed some of the rot within the U.S. military. More on that below, but first a quick correction on a previous post. If you go to the link, be aware that under a bold heading Correcting a chart is some stuff that has nothing to do with the linked article. Editing be difficult... Twilight In The Desert As the Daily Mail reported, Exercise Green Dagger ended in a humiliating result for the U.S. Marine Corps: Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today. British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts. The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent. [...] Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through the five-day exercise, having taken significant casualties from British commandos.
