    That’s… That’s my point. We won world war 2 with equipment that was great strategically and logistically, but was merely good enough tactically. We’ve switched positions. We need to realize that a million man military can’t be gold plated.

      I mean Germany is still gold-plating things. Also a million men when did you decide to cut the size of your forces in half.

        I wasn’t counting all of the reserves because we accept that they get old equipment.
