Put another way: even if no military weakness in the US armed forces had been revealed at all (unlikely in war), it is still possible to have a situation where the *threat* of force is actually a more valuable bit of strategic leverage than the *use* of force.
And that's what I think we're seeing.

“There’s an old saying in Schelling—I know it’s in Hayek, probably in Schelling—that people acting independently can produce outcomes that nobody intended. The first time as tragedy; the second time as… as… it’s funny if it happens again.”
...and economics since 1945? ("Use of Knowledge in Society" is perhaps a stretch, but Schelling "Micromotives and Macrobehavior" certainly)

There's an old saying in Schelling-I know it's in Hegel, probably in Schelling-that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as... as... tragedy... the second time as... as... it's funny if it happens again
