I am always surprised by Americans who think that superior technology guarantees victory. Look at us in Afghanistan, North Vietnam and Korea. Look at the Russians. Look at our own fight for independence against the British. When our government turns on its own citizenry to retain power (I am guessing about 10-20 years from now), hopefully someone besides this old man will remember the lessons of history.

This. The reason, IMHO, that Americans believe that drones, tanks, etc. make the US Military unbeatable, is because they only think about "clean" war. Winning through massively superior tech and firepower. Yeah, that isn't how it works..at all.

Be prepared, to be hungry, thirsty, cold, dirty, sick, exhausted, injured, and mentally horrified. Then, you will win.
