Generation Kill's Brad "Iceman" Colbert examines three stories that reveal a much larger problem facing the United States: readiness.
A U.S. armored brigade struggles against experienced Ukrainian drone operators during a major NATO exercise. A $533 million artillery production project delivers zero accepted 155mm projectile bodies. And one of America's aircraft carriers completes an extraordinary deployment while another is diverted from the Pacific to sustain operations in the Middle East. These aren't isolated headlines—they're different symptoms of the same strategic challenge.
In this episode:
- How Ukrainian drone operators overwhelmed U.S. armored formations during a major training exercise
- Why drones are changing the future of armored warfare
- The $533 million artillery factory that failed to deliver usable shells
- What went wrong with America's defense industrial base
- The USS George Washington relieving the USS Abraham Lincoln after an extended combat deployment
- Why carrier rotations reveal growing strain on U.S. global commitments
- The difference between owning military capability and sustaining military readiness
- What these three stories reveal about the future of American military power
Military superiority isn't just about having the world's best equipment—it's about integrating technology, sustaining industrial production, and maintaining global readiness over time. Brad breaks down why these three stories matter and what they tell us about the future of modern warfare.
