#2 Can the Theater US Forces survive The 6 Hour War™? IMO the CCP will throw the proverbial 'kitchen sink' at the US forces. They will be smart, they will be cunning and they will have wargamed it for years. Remember the Egyptian Army crossing the Suez Canal in 1973? That degree of planning.

After the first day the US forces will get to show their mettle.

#7 Somewhere in the plot of every Tom Clancy novel is the hot new item that fails to perform, while some used-up submarine or a discontinued missile found in the back of the warehouse saves the day.

Yes, it's fiction, but compelling because real life is full of exactly those kinds of unexpected twists.
