This wargame makes no sense...

“The United States and Japan lose dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and thousands of service members. Such losses would damage the US global position for many years,” the report said. In most scenarios, the US Navy lost two aircraft carriers and 10 to 20 large surface combatants. Approximately 3,200 US troops would be killed in three weeks of combat, nearly half of what the US lost in two decades of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“China also suffers heavily. Its navy is in shambles, the core of its amphibious forces is broken, and tens of thousands of soldiers are prisoners of war,” it said. The report estimated China would suffer about 10,000 troops killed and lose 155 combat aircraft and 138 major ships.

This wargame is utter bullshit.

Two aircraft carriers lost.  10 to 20 large surface combatants (which would probably include one LHD minimum) and we only suffer 3200 killed?

BULLSHIT!

How do you perform rescue operations in the middle of a raging sea battle?

You don't!

Which means that 5k souls are lost on each of those carriers.  Same with the other lost warships.

Maybe 3200 Marines killed acting as the Stand In Force but for the entire force?  No fucking way in hell.

These freaks are giving the American public a false sense of superiority.

The flip side?

IF THIS IS TRUE then the US should launch an attack against the Chinese now.  Counting lives as numbers on a ledger is disgusting but 3200 killed and a chance to ruin the Chinese for a couple of generations?

That's acceptable and we should go NOW!  But again.  We all know this is BULLSHIT!
