We went from forward deployed forces configured to fight and win two major simultaneous conflicts to one that has largely been focused on counter-insurgency for the last 20 years, and appears to now be focused on feelings.
Stand by, this one (and potentially a second one courtesy of the Chinese) could leave a mark.
