Don’t underestimate the lesser adversaries of the US.

Some Marine Col. Wargamed as opfor Iran or something of the like and sent a carrier strikegroup down to the bottom of the sea. Used low tech and overwhelmed the systems in place. Of course the Navy declared shenanigans and invalidated the kills.

We are not invincible.

Much more invincible than the likes of Russia, China, and NK.

We win the war I think.

That's why it is essential for our military to have a diverse set of weapons systems that can respond to certain demands.

It is why systems such as the A-10 will continue to find a place on the modern battlefield

Did he wargame the next step where we obliterate Iran for sinking our carrier?

The best thing we have going for is the oceans separating us and the world’s largest armies

Yeah, motorcycle couriers that we’re 100% stealthy, that arrived at their destination instantly.

Small motor boats that carried massive anti ship missiles.

A carrier strike group sitting just barely off the coast line with severe limitations in place for ROE due to “commercial shipping lanes” interfering.

The whole simulation was crap. Van Riper will never admit that it was crap but it was. They re-floated the carrier and changed the parameters to make it more realistic and got actual results from Millennium Challenge 2000 (iirc?) that weren’t a complete fairytale.
