During WWII, America produced 300,000 aircraft, 87,000 tanks, and 72,000 naval warships. From a population of 132 million, it trained, clothed, armed, and fed a military consisting of 18 million troops. And, all this occurred only 50 years into the industrial revolution.
If America applied the same dedication today to the war on terror, just how long do you think it would take to win? Just how are we expecting to succeed when active duty troop levels are only 500,000? Is the war on terror a serious commitment or just a circus sideshow?
