Remember, we did not win World War II because our soldiers, one for one, were better than German or Japanese soldiers. In fact, a friend of mine, who was a Marine officer with Korean War and Vietnam War experience, told me that in WWII, any time an American unit engaged a Japanese or German unit of the same size, the Americans always lost, with the only exceptions being US Marines, or special Army units, like Rangers.
We won WWII with overwhelming numbers. That won’t work against China, especially with our now woke military.
We won WWII with overwhelming numbers.
It wasn’t number of soldiers. It was aircraft, aircraft carriers, tanks, shells, etc. Read Brute Force by John Ellis. If I recall correctly, we produced 113 aircraft carriers during WWII while the Axis produced 11.
I remember reading an interview of a German soldier and he was amazed about fighting the Americans. He said if they met any resistance. They pulled back and fired barrages of artillery shells.
Just captured German soldiers in Italy were stunned at the long lines of American tanks waiting in line to move to the front.
