A lot of both, IMHO.

The New York Jets are the most wanchancy NFL team I know of. If it wasn't for bad luck, they would have no luck at all.

Their planning and ours both went out the window when the war started. Both sides had to fight with what they had. In the early years of the war, 42 & 43, the gun fights in the constricted waters of the Solomon Islands were dead even. Those battles were nasty, loud, close and the reason they call a certain body of water Ironbottom sound.

In the 1930s, the US Navy thought its battles would be fought at long range, in the daylight, and torpedoes were obsolete. Japan trained and planned to fight at night at medium to short ranges, with fast, 30 foot torpedoes with a ton of explosives in their warhead. The Japanese Long-Lance (or Type 93) torpedo was developed by the Japanese in the thirties. Using liquid oxygen as a propellant, they were the fastest, longest ranged, and hardest hitting torpedoes in the world.

US cruisers and destroyers often faced Japanese cruisers and destroyers armed with dozens of Long-Lance torpedoes tantivy closing the range to under 10,000 yards.

Me either, but I'm open to new things. Never have I ever had roadkill stew.

The ullage in the liquor cabinet is what got the kids busted.

I've come to the point where I see that Hollywood is thinking of adapting an old favorite, I speculate on how they're going to screw it up. Unless it is Peter Jackson or Denis Villeneuve, I dread it. After what was done to Heinlein's Star Ship Troopers and Max Brook's World War Z, I have to wonder WTF were they thinking?

I did riding home on a bus from an away game at about 3 in the morning. Never have I ever had sex on an AirBus.
