Nope, it's exemplary because the Yankees won't be able to retreat forever or avoid combat on unfavorable terms for themselves. In addition, they won't be able to shoot down all the BETA with their standard weapons. And once their ammunition is exhausted, the Yankee TSF has no way to conduct normal close combat - their robots aren't even equipped with cutting edges on their armor (except for the F-35, probably). The Yankees are simply not ready, either technically or tactically, for a real war against the BETA,

You freak, do your fingers have cramps or something? And yes, a nuclear attack is not the same as "the competent use of good TSF in combat".

But we are talking about ML, and in the 60s there are spaceships with nuclear engines and colonies on the Moon, in the 70s there are exoskeletons and huge combat robots with nanotech, in 2001 there are railguns, and in 2005 superluminal ships. The problem is that between the 70s and 00s, progress in weapons seemed to have frozen.

You guys are wrong. The TSF cold weapons are not intended to replace firearms, just as firearms do not replace bladed weapons. They are intended for combined use, in order to maximally diversify the combat capabilities of the TSF at all distances.
And everyone in the ML world understands this, except the Yankees.
Just in case, the TSF doctrine of use includes formations and roles in the squad intended for close combat specialists - so the presence of swords/axes/chainsaws is a necessity and not a whim.
