True, but would Americans actually lift a finger to do anything about it? No, they'd just complain on Twitter while watching Netflix and ordering DoorDash.

  @gentoobro @BroDrillard @anonaccount @deprecated_ii @pepsi_man The generals are retarded but I'm not sure a bunch of LT. Colonels are willing to be shot down over Iran and meet certain death so I could see a situation develop where after a strike with a lot of losses any sorties would be dialed back so that only low risk and long rang, (therefore low payload) pin-prick strikes will be the only ones flown, drastically cutting their effectiveness.

  @gentoobro @BroDrillard @anonaccount @deprecated_ii @pepsi_man But would the generals keep sending sorties out if they lose a chunk of the fleet each time they try to bomb Iran? When has the officer corps in recent history been shown to be willing to shed their blood, (as fighter pilots are all officers)?
  The political establishment of the US military is the one who loses credibility in the face of their high-tech toys being turned to scrap.

  Yes, yes they would. The current generals are retarded. The least retarded of them would have been fired by George Marshall on his first day.

  Modern AA essentially outranges modern air-launched weapons, with few and very expensive exceptions. There's no low-risk standoff distance.
  The LT Colonels will follow orders and fly to their deaths. They have before, and the modern military is more cucked than before.

  Different times and different men.
  
  Even then, the morale of US troops wasn't the greatest in WW2 according to honest reports. And even worse in Vietnam.

  You doubt that the 'following orders' outcome will repeat?

  @Quentel @BroDrillard @anonaccount @pepsi_man @wgiwf @gentoobro there are a million ways to undermine your leadership and generally be ineffective without refusing to follow orders

  They'll follow orders past the point of no-return without knowing any better.

  Men followed order in Vietnam and Korea. Most of them at least, and that's what matters.
