    I’d argue a large part of what made the US Military a formidable force was its logistical capabilities. You need a hospital in 3 days, done. You need a bridge here in 24 hours, done. It wasn’t just the weapons.

    But when you gimp your own supply lines and let them be destroyed because “oh that doesn’t matter”, you’ll find out how quickly that “force” can crumble under its own weight.
