      Three countries (and more really) tried to do exactly that, and they have still not recovered

      Their militaries are woefully inadequate, they can’t compete with US/Israeli doctrine directly

      There are many reasons why, “top heavy” is easiest explanation; rank and file are afraid of their superiors (rightly so), so they withhold unfortunate news. This makes modern military operations that depend on adaptability, communication, and coordination very difficult.
