Is you the generation ready for the next war?
Historically, there is an arguement that you are not.
My "2 and a half war" doctrine meant killing the USSR and China while keeping North Korea down. Your "2 war" doctrine is Iraq and Afghanistan. Hardly in the same league.
While I have no doubt that your III Corps could run circles around my VII Corps, I have serious questions that you could hold off the 1st Moscow and the 16th Guards, especially when they start tossing nukes.
Obviously, we're talking two very different things BUT and this a very big BUT, the historic perspective is the American Civil War, the Boer War, and WWI.
The Boer War saw acts that can kill the combined armies of the American Civil War and yet, WWI saw that your Civil War tactics were more apt than the maneuvers of teh Boer War.
The point here is that we have a historic example that your war may not be the next one we fight.
