its pretty clear negligence to not have learned everything possible from the ukranian forces at all levels.

the US has learned this same lesson many times though, with people of all stripes posting their workouts running back and forth on aircraft carriers on strava. same with their patrol routes around bases

Learning probably hasn’t taken place because I think there is a disrespect on the part of the US forces towards the Ukraine and that probably was true in Vietnam and Afghanistan…

Knowledge doesn't diffuse perfectly and instantly through an institution.

On top of that, increased levels of incompetence are to be expected after a loyalty purge.
