I don't think a compromised pre-negotiated operation where one side bribed the other to pull it's punches is an accurate way to assess military capability.

Sorry military fetishists but "Operation Forgetepstienfiles" wasn't impressive on any level.

Well actually it might be impressive that the US military managed to fly a formation of helicopters more than a hundred miles without crashing half of them. Bravo...
