Just think what we have that the public doesn't know about.

Like empty warehouses for 155mm shells.

But plenty of $80 million airplanes.

American strategic planning, over the last 30 years, hasn’t put much value on artillery shells, or tanks.

US strategic power is based on the USAF and the USN, not the US Army. The US doesnt want to fight a continental ground war anymore.

This plan has many consequences. Among them is the change in the mission of the USMC, which has gotten rid of its tanks and most of its conventional (M777) artillery.
