US is just not ready for a peer war. you could argue that China’s soldiers are untested in battle, and you would be correct

uhhhh the US's soldiers are also untested in battle. None of the soldiers on the fighting lines will have ever been in a war before, all the Iraq war vets are like 40 years old.

and all their generals are untested in battle excepting against goat herders in a flat floodplain desert river valley

this is a moot point and a cope that proamericans fall on, it literally isn't even true.

yeah but i didnt say US soldiers were “battle-hardened”, just that PLA soldiers aren’t. in the same sentence i say the US warfare techniques are well known, which they are (reliance on bombing and drone warfare)

US soldiers aren't either. The way you wrote it clearly implies that they have some kind of experience that Chinese soldiers don't. This is false.

they have experience using drones and bombs to kill ppl. unless PLA soldiers are out there bombing weddings, that is experience US soldiers have that PLA soldiers dont

further, my comment doesnt “clearly imply” that. stop being pedantic, if you have a problem with anything i actually said, criticize that instead of taking the least charitable interpretation of my comment. PLA soldiers don’t have experience with warfare, this is true. i said this bc its a possible rebuttal to my stance on PLA superiority, not as some implied praise of US military efficacy
