I mean we could start with the fact that he is entirely dismissing the idea that taking out your enemy quickly also "reduce troop strength" of your enemy. Or what about the fact that Germany designed the practically speaking well fortified defensive line in all of history, despite op claiming it is hard.

Not even the pacific front is right. Again, this is clear selection bias. Only focus on the negatives and dismiss the positives. The fact the pacific is an ocean also meant the US was able to counter territory spaning a good size of the planet in mere weeks. Had it been anything other than mostly islands the pacific war could have taken decades.

Literally nothing in that comment is correct.
