Generals say it’s logistics that win wars. The US record in winning wars is simply terrible.

US hasn’t lost a war yet.

US also has a large strategic-sealift force: dozens of RO/RO ships, commercial shipping agreements and prepositioned Army equipment in the Pacific and Indian Ocean.

It can move man and materiel anywhere it pleases and fast.
