Hey /k/ I remember reading about some wargame exercises conducted by the US gov that had some very embarrassing results. I can't remember the exact context but I think the opposing force were some rebel fighters or something and they were led by somebody important I forgot the name. Anyways it turns out the rebels beat the US so bad in the wargames that the US changed the rules to make it impossible for the rebels to win and then ran the games again and "claimed" victory.

I know my description is very specific so somebody will know what I'm talking about. Thanks.

The opfor launched (simulated) torpedoes form small boats and btfo the navy.

The magic messages ran on foot at light speed to give the order to attack.

>>34160910
I mean, that's happened before in the 80's, can't think of any recent examples though.
>>
>>34160993
Yes that was it. What is the name of this scenario so I can search for it?
>>
>>34160910

1) The US Navy could not use defensive systems due to a flaw in the software that simulated the combat.
2) Another flaw also forced the navy to deploy in a manner that was not realistic.
3) the entire exercise was about testing command and control systems in specific situations. Not about testing defensive systems for the navy.

You are an idiot.

The Falcon 2005.

Strange thing is, they pooled a lot of resources to counter this ,as they say, impossible scenario and came up with the LCS which is shit.

No actually it's the Millennium Challenge 2002. You just listed the name of OP's image which he wasn't even talking about.

>>34160910
The Vietnam War :^)

>>34160910
Millenium Challenge, which had issues as noted above.

I think another issue was something like "the boats launching the missiles couldn't actually launch the missiles he was using". Essentially, a guy went off-script, said "fuck it put the impractically huge rocket on the boat that would capsize immediately if this was real" and the computer said "lel ok i gotchu bro".

blame the game not the player, playa.

So tom expelled all the niggers? Is that what I'm suppose to be getting from this?
>>
>>34160910
You mean the one with the motorcycles messengers that delivered things at the speed of light and the ships that fired silkworm missiles even though they were physically incapable of doing so?
>>
>>34161671
i can blame the player for cheating when he is using things that literally do not exist or are impossible.

I may as well be dropping F-22s and modern patriot batteries into a 1960' fighter war-game over the skies of Vietnam.

Im not sure what youre talking about, but reading about Richard Marcinko and his Red Cell ops will make you view the US government in an even more awful light than I'm sure you already do.
