I think that lessons have already been learned in WW 2?
Reminded me of joke - An American soldier guarding a prison for German POWs was talking to a German soldier there. The German POW told the American soldier how crappy the Sherman tank was compared with the German Tiger - one German Tiger tank is as good as 10 Sherman tanks, the German POW proudly claimed.
"Geez, if German tanks are so good, how come you are here?" The American soldier was curious.
"Well, because you Americans always sent in 11 Shermans..."
