Anybody who actually cares, you know actual professionals, looks at things beyond a very limited set of real world results in very restrictive circumstance.
That's like saying, this NBA team after a 5d journey, and no sleep played a basketball game against a local team, with the whole crowd hostile, a complete broke court and a totally different ball.
And even then they would win for 20 years straight and the other team is only annoying to deal with. Until the owner decide there is no point in it.
And from this you conclude that that NBA team is bad at basketball because 'real-world results'.
Result beats potential.
And most of the US military except the special forces need time of from work and visit the army shop.
