not sure, but I think the biggest weakness of the US army is that they overestimate themself. The US hasn't fought a "real" enemy for a long time (since ww2 or Korea) all the other wars were fought against poorly equipped and trained troops.
China may be no "high tech" army now (but they are not as low tech as some want to believe) but they will become the major thread to the US.

Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
