So they open with an anecdote about how poorly trained/prepared US soldiers are that they die during training exercises, and then:

"Troops worked on new maneuvers patched together from watching Ukraine fight Russia."

For a masterclass on surrendering? They have accepted they would stand no chance so want to practice their white flag deployments? And they think they would stand the slightest chance against China??? Not even accounting for the differences in equipment, just imagine how much more motivated the PLA would be when fighting to protect their homeland.
