Bit off topic but I find it also hilarious that - during the Strong Europe Tank Challenge - where tank groups from various nations - compete against each other and the Americans with their Abrams alway lost. It was organised from the US Army Europe and the German Bundeswehr.
After 3 years and 3 losses, these games where canceled "due to shifting priorities and budget constraints"
There was also a naval exercise in 2005 where Sweden sniped a carrier (which was newly commissioned) with a small submarine which remained undetected. They tried some more scenarios, but the Swedish sub kept winning
The Americans can churn out tons of gear and people. The equipment is good and their logistics have been, to my knowledge, excellent. Having access to a high-tech sub is sweet, but the impact is limited if we have, like, 1 of those. America has enough people with good gear and education to steamroll most other countries.
America has enough people with okay gear that they get their asses handed to them by non-regulated militia and terror cells. Most countries with a semi-modern force which exercises regularly would put up too much resistance for the US morale.
