To your first point, there's some merit in keeping specific tactics, techniques, equipment, and procedures secret, but even that comes down to a resource management (logistics) issue, where information is the resource.
To your second point, logistics has a huge role in any war. See Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Mahan, Herodotus, Thucydides, etc. If you're intent was to set up a construct where the US military is woefully behind the 8 ball in modern military something-or-other, I would disagree. So, I don't disagree with your thesis that WW2 affects western military thinking, but I disagree with using that as the basis for any argument about the preparedness of western military thinking or modern war planning. Keep in mind we just exited the intermediate ballistic missile treaty with Russia and are developing hypersonics partially to manage the expanding threat of nuclear weapons, where whole-of-civilization war may be won or lost in minutes. We deploy drones at operational and tactical levels. We invest more in medical collaborations (a soft power move) than most countries spend on their own road systems. We fight at every level all the damn time.
To your third point, yes logistics needs a lot of peacetime attention and investment. The inevitable problem is managing the OODA loop between conflicts. As your time between operations increases, the hypothetical space of new possibilities increases and you can't invest in all of them.
