It's all about leadership, and that had to be remade from the ground level up...starting in 1985. But the forged NCO's lead into Desert Storm and later.What's wrong with that.. Give them a little intel and some great weapons to use. No worries...
Know what the Air Force 'Mafia' was? They taught the air dominance technique that allowed them to survive in Viet Nam. Evading the surface to air; circling around; then taking out the tracking station and then the rocket launcher. Only thing, during Nam, it was declared illegal by Lyndon Johnson.
When pilots start teaching that technique following 1975, they were thrown into prison. It took some time, but that very technique was used in Desert Storm and allowed for air dominance, there.
Naw, don't begin to downgrade leadership...but I agree with your premise, baptism of fire and come out steel!
