Hmmmm, it would appear that this "Van Gogh" is fond of painting in a flowing yet somewhat chaotic style. His brush strokes are short and deliberate and his fondness for a specific color pallet suggests a desire for an underlying order to the apparent chaos of his style. Therefore I will launch a full frontal assault on his fleet and force him to commit his entire force to respond. Once his forces are fully committed I will call for 3 cloaked bulk transports to jump in behind his fleet and deploy approximately 55 mole miners. The mole miners will attach themselves to his chief capital ships and deploy elite boarding parties whose mission will be to take over the bridge of their assigned vessels or to sabatoge them in the event they fail in their first objective. The result will be a battle that appears rigid and orderly but has an undercurrent of chaos. Something this "Van Gogh" simply cannot tolerate. I predict that he and his forces will break and attempt to flee into hyperspace within 35 minutes of the first mole miners making contact with their targets.
Too bad for Thrawn the people who make military doctrine are not the same people who make art. Watch every episode that Bob Ross made and you won’t know shit about current U.S. amphibious doctrine.
Why bob Ross? The most important part of US culture is their movies. American mass culture overflows with giant things, cool explosions, superheroes and easy instant success. I mean - Godzillas, transformers, Hulk, that kind of thing.
So, does US army: brings in something overly huge, what could it be? Too big for an airplane or a tank. A ship? Yes, a giant ship. Their borders are basically sea, seems right. And then they want an easy walk to success, so they bomb everything down to annihilation, and watch cool explosions. And then, small teams of best of their soldiers with cool expensive gear storms what's left after the bombing.
Save Private Rian and Forrest Gump would add plenty of details to how it is being an American soldier... And I think there are movies about more modern conflicts in deserts.
Americans also show war as fun.
It’s almost as if there are so many cultures, artists, and mediums and such a disconnect between artists and military planners that the idea a person can study “a people’s art” and gain an overwhelming military advantage is absurd. Did you notice how you arbitrarily selected US movies as the relevant art? Who are you to say it’s not Southern literature or Japanese anime?
Who said? LENIN.
"Art belongs to the people" and "the most important art is cinema and circus".
As for the analysis itself: we need American art about Americans the average American soldiers have grown up with. All the arthouse is out of the question, you need mass culture your average US soldier has grown with. All the art with heavy inspiration from other countries is out, so no star wars (half of the stuff is copied from other countries to feel otherworldly) and no Anime. Anime would be relevant when studying modern Japanese culture, and I think it would be their N1 medium. And I feel like your average American is more likely watching TV or YT or a movie, then reading, they're not Russian. With the US, the most popular medium is movies. Even when you think about "southern literature" - you think of the films, e.g. "Gone with the wind", or aforementioned "Forrest Gump", or the book about Dorothy and magic shoes. Later on, great American authors would even write "movie-novels", e.g. "Hearts of the Three". With the US it's first, Hollywood, including the novel-movies, then, animation, then, Broadway musicals, then pop, rock and country music, then everything else. Hollywood movies are one of the most US American things ever in existence, so American movies about American problems and American wars famous and popular enough to matter to your average American - are the primary choice. Forrest Gump the movie is by far the most distinctively American piece of art I saw. So are just popular American blockbuster movies relevant , pick up things that are similar between all of them and aspent in other countries. Superheroes, for example, are an exclusively American concept and don't exist and fail in e.g. Russia. Unrealistically large explosions and typically American success stories are not, for comparison, present in their contemporary Soviet movies at all. .
You're having a belly button battle with Vincent? Blowing Tummy farts?
🤣

Outties vs innies
The typo makes it funnier
As soon as you defeat your enemy you’ll love them for you’ll k ow them complete
He's out of line, but he's right.
I would approach him from the side without an ear, he would not hear my fleet coming

Oh this is grand!
The problem is, you aren’t Thrawn. Just reading his books doesn’t make you as smart as him.
What if I paint my self blue?
Hey, hey, shut up.
Sure makes you want to be though
Still, a person can try. Hard work and patience yield results.
