Well I was under the impression that no current force could match the US. And you are right underestimating the enemy is something that can cost you the war. But as of now the US is the hyperpower (sole superpower) of the world and our military seems based on my research to be the most powerful military on the planet at this day and age. I am not say this couldn't change but I am merely saying that CURRENTLY our military is unmatched.
I have studied military history long enough to know that the enemy is more often than not politicans and military advisors to not be able to predict the moves of the enemy. This is due largely to the fact that most people focus on their own military rather than studying their enemy.
The whole "home by christmas" has been said time and time again... And it never happens, its like a jinx.
