This country would never be able to produce enough war machinery if we ever ended up engaged in an actual war with another country. Supplying proxy wars like Ukraine are a completely different ball of wax. What we did in WWII, when it came to war-time production, will never be reproduced here again.
“”What we did in WWII, when it came to war-time production, will never be reproduced here again.””
You speak the truth!!!!
People have no idea what we did in WW2. We built more combat vessels over 1000 tons than Germany constructed Tiger Tanks. During the war my mom, a 20 yr old, worked for the Navy Dept. Her particular job was to follow new construction and declare new vessels ready for shakedown cruise. Certifying that they were crewed and fully supplied. One day she was reviewing losses and discovered vessels she was in the process of certifying had already been sunk or damaged. Navy paperwork had been unable to keep up with construction and deployment. Nope nothing close will ever happen again.
