Unlikely, particularly in the case of the latter.
Further that point it appears to be a systemic problem in many capitals. Difficulty with actually learning lessons is not confined to Washington.
@gums: regarding your point on use of live ammunition. Daesh, in recent memory, has provided numerous opportunities for the final operational testing and evaluation of systems using live ammunition. Should someone from the F-35 program office write them a "Thank You" card?
