No, Colonel ...

 ... Germany is not "roaring back". 


I understand your affiliation with Germany, but Germany's economic reality is such that it will be reduced to a second world (already in progress) status at best, at worst--it will cease to exist if Berlin will continue with its policies. The "roaring back" has no foundation in real life and indicators are all over the place. 

Secondly, these were not "wrong weapons", these were the ONLY weapons the US has and they are not only wrong, they are utterly ineffective. So are strategies and operational concepts of the US Armed Forces. Media PR campaigns never produced impression on Russian military with beating third rate Iraq and especially "operations" in 2003--largely due to, and you guessed it, buying out corrupt Iraqi generals by CIA. Real wars are fought differently, on a completely different bases of real productive economy and serious approach to war planning. This is completely absent from the US military machine since Vietnam. But I agree, it is a tectonic shift which started once the bluff has been called.
