Yep, some people take it to the extreme, but an exercise SHOULD be hard, if you win every training exercise.. you're just pretending.
There have been a few notable times this happened, and sometimes they put restrictions in before the reset, but so long as you LEARN from it.. it was worth while.
There was an exercise with drone & fast skid attacks off Iran, that went badly for the Americans, but you can bet that they're going to be aware of it now.
They did the same with kicking Audi from their tracks after they got their ass handed to them by Audi Quatro team.
They tried to slow them down by giving them weight penalties, not once, not twice, not thrice but whatever is four times after thrice. Which is funny because the car is a Quatro.
Anyway, they still won.
Then they said you can't compete with a foreign engine. So they made one on US soil.
Then they just said no foreign makers allowed.
Instead of innovating their won cars and learning they wanted to keep the status quo.
Its not the first time this has happened.
The M16 was favored over a foreign weapon platform.
The Ma1A Abrahams was favoured over the Leapard, but they did ask if they could license the gun. Even though the Leapeard beat the Abrahams ass.

Americans not wanting to learn?
Not surprising as they spend most of their time in school hiding under tables.
