There’s a lot that I think could be discussed about that subject; I’m guessing it includes things like disaster response and post-revolution occupations of other countries, and the point of those paragraphs seems to be that US military training isn’t meant to equip soldiers for those tasks; and that clearly (to me, at least) suggests that their own sense of their skill set would not include operating as an administrative force in a post-counter-revolutionary America, which is a rough parallel to a stabilization action. For me, I think military occupations almost invariably make things worse for both sides – but then no one is going to ask me.
