    The US military is worn down and undertrained.

    That’s not a new issue. Back during Iraq, the navy(?maybe marines) tried to mobilize a reserve that was supposed to use F-14s(?).

    Turns out there were like 9 actually ready to fly and they had 1:60 flight:maintenance ratios because parts that weren’t expected to fail and didn’t have parts were failing so they had to be savaged from other craft.
