No.

It has a well trained military.

The IDF is exceptionally trained, as are many of the smaller European countries. Size and funding are issues--a small military is far easier to train and equip than a large one simply by virtue of its size.

Case in point: The pilots of the IJN circa 1930-1941 were the best trained military force that humanity has ever produced. Typically only 1-5% of a class would graduate the academy. People that would have been considered prodigies in other countries were fielded as ground crew by the IJN.

Having a small corps of super elite fighters proved to be a bad idea when most of them died and they had no replacements.

That said, US military training is very good and is certainly competitive with anything else being done today.

Were you in the military, or are you simply obsessed with it/the history of it?

Not trying to be an ass, just wondering.

if something involved using special forces to recover a high ranking military official who was taken hostage and you could only recover him covertly without the use of extreme force

of all the special forces in the world, who's would you choose?

Do you think the F-22 and F-35 will be the last manned fighters produced for the USAF?

How do you think these two aircraft stack up against the foreign competition?

What do you think is the most important innovation in military technology in the past decade and what does this mean for the world?

Attu and Kiska in the Aleutians.

I didn't need to look it up. The Aleutian front has always been of interest to me, and one day I'd like to visit Kiska.

Fun facts about the Aleutian front:
-It is the first place the P-38 flew in actual service
-The P-39 wasn't a death trap there
-Yamamoto used Dutch Harbor as a feint attack during the Battle of Midway. Nimitz and friends saw through it. And weather at Dutch Harbor ****ed the Japanese

What are your thoughts on bullpup rifles? And why doesn't the US adopt the system?

It seems like if you can get the same size barrel in a smaller package wouldn't that be a better thing, especially in the urban combat situation we find ourselves in?

No.

UCAVs are still a good generation (at least) away from supplanting manned aircraft completely.

However, we will see the full implementation of combat drones in our natural lifespans.

The F-22 is a tremendous waste of money--the YF-23 should have won the contract.

Technologically, they are superior to any and all threats.
The Eurofighter cannot keep up.
The Rafale is a generation behind.
The Russian-made threats (plausibly the Su-30MK/Su-30MKK/Su-30MKI/etc and potentially the Su-37 if it were to ever enter real production) cannot compete in terms of stealth tech or avionics/sensors, but can more than compete from a performance perspective (sans supercruise.)

That said, stealth tech will be rendered obsolete by the deployment of passive radar networks.
