Dude, STFU, we have the #1 military because we have the #1 economy and arguably the richest resource base of any nation in the world.
Resources + Wealth = BIG FUCKING STICK.
BIG FUCKING STICK = Superior #1 Military. It has nothing to do with the manner in which it is run. He is right though, civilians have little experience in the scale of the operation, losses, and time frame milieu scales. The current system in place worked fine back in the day when the professional military didn't have to number of components or the specialization it has today. So your argument of "We are #1 so it must be working fine" is just fucking stupid.
Try to come in here next time with a worthwhile argument.
