I'm watching Ken Burns's Vietnam War doc & realizing the US military hasn't really changed. They don't learn.
Counting bodies & destruction is NOTHING. What objectives did you achieve? What did you take from the enemy? What did you get for your side?
War isn't won by the number of missiles used & people killed. It's about achieving objectives that allow you to thwart the enemy.
I don't know exactly how much the US military is dependent on AWS, but I'm sure the answer isn't 0%.
