The blue team literally prevented him from using tactics that americas enemies had already used against america. How do the military even call this a war game? Its more akin to a fantasy novel where the hero cant lose.

If anything it shows how unimaginative the american military is thanks to its reliance on expensive and high end technology. There is creativity in asymmetric warfare that the US has struggled to master even in the 23 years since this exercise.

Apparently not since there's an obvious typo at the beginning of the article.

I've heard of this game the US ran before and it's always funny when it gets brought up. A lot of the guys on blue team are still salty about it and insist red team broke the rules or some other dumbfuck reason.

There's an element of truth in the butthurt in that it did take advantage of quirks in how losses were calculated.

The problem is it doesn't change the key issue which is the USA runs out of bullets before Iran runs out of ships and missiles.
