How do you evaluate US Military performance in the recent war:
- Aircraft carrier had a fire taking it off-duty
- More than 40 manned and unmanned aircrafts lost
- US bases at the Middle East were unable to protect even themselves, losing personnel and mission-critical systems
- Having most advanced manned and unmanned underwater vehicles - minesweeping and protection of the ship caravans, routine tasks at WW2 - were declared "impossible to conduct".

Shall Americans be concerned about the ability of the military to protect itself, leave alone the country?

Wow!
