Air Force Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote, deputy chief of staff for strategy, integration and requirements, also admitted that the recent trend in war games was “not just that we were losing, but we were losing faster.”
Adm. Phil Davidson, the head of US Indo-Pacific Command, told the Senate Tuesday that he believes China might try to annex Taiwan “in this decade, in fact within the next six years,” the report noted.
Aquila non capit muscas. A functioning military can ignore criticism. Hell, a functioning military wouldn't have a choice because a functioning military wouldn't have any mechanism to "clap back" at bowtie merchant.

Either way I don't trust it to fight a dragon or a bear, both of which are still more or less what they say they are.
