While I'll agree the US needs a more flexible army. Something I think we're working towards. I also don't see were the US military is so handicapped. Last I checked they had full first strike capability over China.

But a war with China will not involve nuclear weapons. It would if all goes well involve a first strike to China, wipping out communications and most of their airforce. It would then move to Korea and to India. A war with China would be a long one, and to win would involve alot of deforestation aerosols used by the US. War with China would be won by starving the worlds largest country to peace.
