Something you guys always over look when trying to compare the US to other armies..

The US has been well practiced with 2 wars over the last 10 years and we have special ops doing things all over the world.

What has Russia or China for that matter done in the last 10 years other than drills? What was the last "real" war for the Russians, Afghanistan where they pretty much dissolved the USSR. Chechen War is about all they have really done in the last 20+ years and that was really not a straight up fight.

China.. what have they done since WW2? Tossed a bit of support in Vietnam and shot some Tibetan monks?

Actual combat experience goes a long way, something the US has had lots of recent experience with...
