To say we underestimate the enemy is a misinformed opinion. Usually made by folks that have no idea what they are talking about.
Lol nice ad hominem attack.

The politicians lost those wars. One only has to look at the limitations DC put on the military to see that.
Vietnam, except a handful of times, they weren’t allowed to attack the North
Iraq and Afghanistan, victory was declared, attempts to set up new local government and hand them back control took place before the battle was even won. That wasn’t the military that made those calls. If you look at the facts we overran those countries in a matter of a few weeks. The military needed time to take out the pockets of insurgents, but no we handed control over then withdrew the majority of the troops leaving a small force behind.
Korea was not a loss. Not really a win either. The original intent was to push the north back above the 38th Parallel and we did. Yes at one time Truman wanted to reunite the country, but once China got involved he lost interest in fighting war of attrition against an Army that more less had unlimited manpower compared to the relatively small UN force on the ground. So back to the original goal which was to restore the border at the 38th.
Oh bullshit. Macarthur disregarded his own intel and other sources on the Chinese hence got his ass kicked all the way back to Seoul, not Truman. Westmoreland tried to fight a WWII campaign in Vietnam, we ended up with fiascos like Khe San, Hue, the whole Tet Offensive , ad nauseam. We did beat the conventional Iraqi forces but lost to the insurgents. Franks fucked us due to his fear of high casualties in Tora Bora thereby letting OBL escape into Pakistan. So it aint all on the civilian leadership it's also on piss poor military leadership too.

smuggled those past who? Saudi Arabia? Their “Navy” is 3 Frigates and a handful of various corvettes and patrol boats.
Our military doesn’t underestimate our enemies. The problem is with the civilian leadership. More concerned with winning hearts and minds (which hasn’t worked since Korea) and small limited actions than actually achieving any real objectives.
Lol. Right, we sell our allies, the Saudis and the UAE, a shit ton of systems, train them up, provide support, and when the shit hits the fan we don’t or won’t provide the intel for them to prosecute the conflict successfully.
As far as our military underestimating its enemies just look at Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The record of the US military since WWII speaks for itself.

Hmmmm. Smuggling rather large missiles and the even larger launching system across multiple countries without being noticed? I dunno, seems unlikely.
Kinda makes you wonder how Iran managed to smuggle irbms and other munitions to the Houthi rebels in the middle of an active conflict between the Saudis, UAE, and the Houthis. Much less how they smuggled Scud C and Ds to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Probably not too difficult to stuff one of these in a cargo ship.
All I’m saying is Iran has demonstrated the willpower and the ability to evade our strengths and exploit our weaknesses of which underestimating our enemies is one of our biggest.

I never said they didn’t have merchant ships. I said they wouldn’t be able to get them out of Iran if we were at war with Iran.
I would imagine that the Iranians are pretty adept at smuggling. In the above stated scenario why in the world would they use Iranian flagged ships, much less an Iranian port or ports? What are the odds of say Syria or Lebanon as points of departure for a neutral flagged ship? I think it would be relatively easy to sneak past our vaunted intelligence services.

Major Bong was the top scoring US ace in WWII followed by Major McGuire. Both were Pacific Theater pilots flying the P-38.
