I resigned my commission a few months ago. Instead of a Thank You for almost 40 years in the reserves, I was told that I will be forced back if there is a conflict. Skin colour is a totally useless predictor of ability or intelligence - culture is what counts. I spent most of my time in the SOF and the military attache branch. Very few racial minorities there but those that wanted to be there were top notch. East Europeans being way above average in terms of abilities. But female reserve officers (mostly civil servants from some ministry) were created and given a rank that I worked for for years. They could lift a pencil like any man can but the rest of soldiering? Nada.
Somehow I'm not surprised to see Vietnam at the head of the pack. They're arguably the most successful warrior nation of the 20th century.
As to the collapse of the Western will to fight, before the war has even started, seems to me that's a logical correlate of gaslighting an ethnic group into oikophobia. It's the societal equivalent of depression, and while depressed people are easy to control since they won't defend themselves, they aren't much good in a fight for the same reason.

"Its her turn" "draft our daughters" needs to be a thing.
The simps and tradcons will of course unfortunately stand in the way.
However diversity may make it more possible as distance makes it harder to care.
