it’s clickbait in the same way that vietnam defeated the us in that war they had that one time
probably the purpose of the us navy above all else is to protect shipping. like yes they’re set up to fight other navies and project power, but at the end of the day, that’s all so that nobody can fuck with the country’s logistics.
and even given how much money gets shoveled into it, it completely failed to do so against a group of fighters with a shoestring budget.

when i go to a picnic i don’t normally bring my billion-dollar mosquito killing machine, and when i do, i expect it to protect me
