So, policy stuff. Not blatantly corrupt subservience to special interests for money and favors?

yeah this...but still, is Israel stuff has the sniff of corrupt IAPAC money, but really it's just one of those bizarro personal things where he just gained some specific attachment to "the cause" and he just isn't backing down. Probably, there is now more influence around him to keep in stuck in that lane, but he's certainly nuts about it and it is mostly personal, from what anyone can tell.

One just has to look at our fearless, well trained cops (/s if needed...), who can't hit the side of a barn when scared by an acorn.

Or even graze an unarmed person within 20 feet more than 1/3 of the time. (NYPD Rand study, 1998-2006) They are nearly as dangerous to bystanders as they are to their targeted victims.

That fckr was set up to take the fall for the officers above him. Was he guilty? Probably so…there was fuck of a lot of that stuff still going on when I was there 70-72…but he was still the scapegoat for those who were actually giving the orders.

They make up for it by killing innocents in their own home.

Quantity != Quality

There's also the pesky issues of experience and tactics. Neither of which have been vetted on the Chinese side in basically forever.

47 may get trial by fire:

China Has Wiped Out US Military Advantage in Western Pacific: Commission

Washington urgently needs to ramp up investment in areas like industrial capacity, shipbuilding and munitions production, a report says.
This why you see ads running to recruit people into ship building. Also the navy is finally moving forward with building the capability to reload VLS cells at sea which is going to be a huge force multiplier.

But yes we need to build more missiles so we actually have them to reload ships as needed and for sustained combat.
