You're mistaking a nation that had leadership and a functional logistics chain with the nation we have today. This is how things are now they aren't going to improve, this isn't an deviation this is simply what you get with a moron ordering a drunk to start wars and commit war crimes.

As an aside the logistics breakdown is systemic just simply more apparent on this particular deployed aircraft carrier.

It's absolutely sop during wartime now bud. You're ignoring the fact this is not going to get better, it's going to get worse and we can say that because hey lookie there things are worse today then yesterday.

I'm aware of the logistics issues, I'm aware the US created them and I'm well aware they're not competent enough to fix the problems hence shortages being the norm as they have been to a less extent for decades and moreso now they gutted a lot of the competent people in logistics for political reasons.

You're still stuck on "we're better than this" we aren't, stop expecting 1990 when it's 2026.

No, we're in wartime we're not in a declared war because the admin chose terrorism instead. I know it's a weird concept but they aren't the same thing. One means the executive has granted broad engagement authority. A declared war just means Congress agrees and limited war authority is lifted to gain basically unlimited war authority.

A special military operation just means we're doing war stuff but don't really want to have to explain anything about it to people that could do anything about it.
