I agree and your point "Until we get serviceable crystal balls, we WON'T know what's coming next...." is very well made. However, for this we need a balanced force and I don't think we have this. We have procured in recent years for another Afghanistan and let the rest of our capabilities fall or whither. Multiroling of capabilities is helping with some of this, but we have too many 'capability holidays' to be effective for a lot of what might come next (in my opinion).
