The US Army Secretary: If China and the US go to war, the US military has a steel-like will
In recent years, as China's military modernization accelerates, a sentence has appeared on the domestic internet: Now China also has planes and cannons, and the US military had better have a steel-like will.
Originally, this was just a joke about the US lagging behind China in some defense projects, but no one expected that this sentence would one day come out of the mouth of the US Army Secretary.
On the 26th, US Army Secretary Daniel McFadden spoke about the so-called "Chinese threat" during an interview, claiming that although China's technology seems very good, "they rely too much on their own technology," and that ultimately, wars depend on the quality of soldiers. Therefore, US soldiers and commanders will rely on "their own quality and decision-making ability" to win every victory.
In short, Daniel's meaning is that if a war breaks out between China and the US, the US military will win by relying on "a steel-like will."
Certainly, "the US military also has a steel-like will" is just a joke. Looking through the entire interview, Daniel actually wanted to express that he believes although China "now has some very talented people," they "only copy and imitate," and once the US activates its own "innovation capabilities and institutional advantages," it will achieve unparalleled victories.
As the Army Secretary, Daniel's understanding of war is more puzzling. He even believes that the US military can defeat an army that emphasizes discipline and strict orders simply by relying on "strong men and women."
Well, since Daniel is so confident, we want to ask a question: Why does the United States, which understands "flexibility and adaptability" and has "institutional advantages," still not only cannot produce a sixth-generation fighter jet, but also cannot guarantee mass production of basic drones?
