Is Our Military Really a Paper Tiger?

We have far fewer weapons systems than we used to, and not only because we keep giving them away. Women, gender dysphoriax, and general reduction of standards in the military combine with political prejudice to hugely weaken our forces. But perhaps there are other currents too, and maybe our military could actually fight a successful war against a nation-state peer. Still, all recent examples suggest military weakness, and therefore lack of hard power.
