A recent interview over on Lindybeige's channel had a clip about the nature of international volunteers in Ukraine. If you're the sort of person watching my channel, you've probably seen it. I've seen a lot of people extrapolate that because US soldiers are used to operating with good support that somehow that reduces the quality of the personnel (A different matter from the level of dedication to the Ukrainian cause of any particular individual) Well, train as you fight, fight as you train, as they say. And getting the correct resources in the correct place at the correct time doesn't just happen, even if you have the resources in the first place.
Incidentally, that chap apparently doesn't understand that an 11B in 10th Mountain could have been an 11B in 1st Cav or will rotate to 4th ID afterwards. The US doesn't have the same 'regimental' system he may be used to.
