WW2 supposedly gave us this quote
>The reason the U.S. Navy does so well in wartime is that war is chaos, and the U.S. Navy practices chaos on a daily basis."
And the cold war gave us the joke that Americans don't read their manuals.
Washington's big tactical play was to murder the Hessians in their sleep during the typical Christmas truce.
It's always been a joke of a nation, Trump's lack of tack just makes it more obvious.

Doing well in the chaos of war does not mean you are unprepared and unplanned.
