Aside from whether your comment of “blood of innocent people” applies or not and how peacekeeping assignments figure into this, perhaps I could have used the word “trained” instead of “experienced” to better convey my thoughts.
An untrained force will have trouble doing anything no matter how much money goes into a defense budget. Of course that goes back to “not how much you spend but how you spend it”.
Sorry, I hoped the hyperbole would have been obvious in my previous comment.
Theres lots of schools of thought on that and they’ve evolved over the years. One summary of current thought might be “the nuclear deterrent isnt what it used to be”.
