I think MOST forget too that YES I could build you a 100 story office bldg in a couple years.
But, building say a million man Army staffed with EXPERIENCED NCO’s and officers and PROPERLY equipped takes decades.
I think the Ukraine citizens had a couple days notice. Poor bastards. Like us, their country, which they now have probably lost, is currently run by feel good liberals that would rather stay home and sleep all day.
Your right. You can’t just wave a magic wand and create an armored brigade. Sure you can buy the gear. But gear and bodies does not an armored brigade make.
