True.
We simply lack good experiments...
No way yet discovered to do that.
Basic training is meant to be the basis for later unit and formation training - but units and formations on the front don't conduct the later any more.
Also true -- and a good argument for not doing things the way we now do them.
Short wars are desirable because they are typically less destructive than long ones. To win a war quickly you need to work for it - not prepare for a long one.
I thought that was what I said???
