        The war games were mostly against China. But some of them included Russia and Iran as secondary allies.

          This was the only one I definitely know of where they had to change the rules to get a victory, lmao. Embarrassing stuff.

            ahh yeah that was classic and it really speaks to the state of the US military

            they can’t fathom that there’s any possibility that they could lose a war, especially against more primitive methods of communication and attack. However, they haven’t actually won any wars that involved an adversary who had the ability to fight back at all
