The US military is worn down and undertrained.

That's not a new issue. Back during Iraq, the navy(?maybe marines) tried to mobilize a reserve that was supposed to use F-14s(?).

Turns out there were like 9 actually ready to fly and they had 1:60 flight:maintenance ratios because parts that weren't expected to fail and didn't have parts were failing so they had to be savaged from other craft.

Paper tiger but the kids have been doing crafts this week and they used all the paper to make woke bunting for International [oppressed group] Week.
