its not troops that win wars, its weapons platforms and systems etc...
In a pinch US will keep lowering standards the same way money printer goes BRRRRR, it wouldnt surprise me if they offered inmates shorter sentences for military service, God knows the US has no shortage of folks already caged up
But I will add this however that the US could run into the far east a massive defeat and get routed which will lead to axes meaning china-lead eastern coalition could divide themseleves in two one pushing into Europe because if they are destroyed there they will have little resistance in europe and same in north america thru Alaska because of their defeat in the far east because china and allies could field a ridiculous 20-30m armed forces leading the US right into a bait.. A new world order will be a reality..
At the tactical level the sky is limit and anything can happen the better tactician takes day home and rewrites history as winners always do and it will become the sino-age can they do it? I would say most definitely..
There is only calculations in war this is something Sun-tzu would have said

That guy Erik Sidick supposely works for the Jet Propulsion Lab... maybe he is moonlighting as propaganda agent since he already has the security clearence
And your reference point or example to support your thesis is what or who exactly did the U.S. fought that was even close or near to her military technology? The Iraqis? Lol the Syrians? The Taliban of Afghanistan? The Serbians in Kosovo war? Come on bro, let's get real. The Americans has yet to fight a near peer adversary in the 21st century and that's that's fact. So while I agree that military weapons and platforms can and do make the difference in the outcome of a battle or war but that's only true in the context where the enemy is grotesquely mismatched technologically, strategically inept, and woefully unprepared.
Just to prove or support my argument I give you once again what Col. Douglas Mcgregor said and what led him to write his famous/infamous book "Breaking the Phalanx" and this is what he expressed way back in 2015.
ONE side is Macgregor, an outspoken and controversial advocate for reform of the Army– whose weapons he describes as “obsolescent,” its senior leaders as “self-interested,” and its spending as “wasteful.” Viewed by many of his colleagues as one of the most innovative Army officers of his generation, Macgregor, a West Point graduate with a Ph.D. in international relations (“he can be pretty gruff,” a fellow West Point graduate says, “but he’s brilliant”), led the 2nd Cav’s “Cougar Squadron” in the best-known battle of Operation Desert Storm in February 1991. In 23 minutes, Macgregor’s force destroyed an entire Iraqi Armored Brigade (including nearly 70 Iraqi armored vehicles), while suffering a single American casualty. Speaking at a military “lessons learned” conference one year later, Air Force General Jack Welsh described the Battle of 73 Easting (named for a map coordinate) as “a stunning, overwhelming victory.”
IN the wake of the battle, however, Macgregor calculated that if his unit had fought a highly trained and better armed enemy, like the Russians, the outcome would have been different. So, four years later, he published a book called Breaking The Phalanx, recommending that his service “restructure itself into modularly organized, highly mobile, self-contained combined arms teams.” The advice received the endorsement of then-Army Chief of Staff Dennis Reimer, who ordered that copies of Macgregor’s book be provided to every Army general.
But Macgregor is still fighting that battle. In early September he circulated a PowerPoint presentation showing that in a head-to-head confrontation pitting the equivalent of a U.S. armored division against a likely Russian adversary, the U.S. division would be defeated. “Defeated isn’t the right word,” Macgregor told me last week. “The right word is annihilated.” The 21-slide presentation features four battle scenarios, all of them against a Russian adversary in the Baltics – what one currently serving war planner on the Joint Chiefs staff calls “the most likely warfighting scenario we will face outside of the Middle East.”
Increase the age to 26 and bring back conscription.
Conscription in the land of the Hedonists? Lol good luck
