Is Trump right that our military has forgotten how to win?

President-elect Donald Trump has stated on numerous occasions that the U.S. military, after a good first 170 years or so, has largely forgotten how to win wars since 1945. This claim is part of his rationalization for choosing Army veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who has claimed that America’s armed forces have been emasculated and weakened by “wokeness,” to lead the Pentagon.

Is Trump right to believe that we as a nation, and our military institution in particular, no longer know how to win?
