This required an effort that, in recent decades or years, would absolutely not be possible... The men and women who struggled their way through the recession understood, and made, the sacrifices (both on the war front and the home front) necessary for the final victory...
The sacrifices were so great that it is not even a remote possibility that enough of today's weak and pampered Americans would be willing to perform so heroically... The heroes we can rely on are already serving in harms way to protect America...
From personal experience, I know what it was like to live with one or the other sets of grandparents during WWII... Dad, a Marine, was in the Pacific from 1942 till the war's end and all he had to show for it was three purple hearts ... Our mother worked (eventually as a welder) minimum 12-hour days 6 or 7 days a week in a defense plant... We must have actually seen her 3-dozen times throughout the whole war... She paid the ultimate price by dying at age 54 from the results of the often necessarily unhealthy work environments...
Finally, in addition to not having a large enough American citizenry who would remotely consider these necessary sacrifices, the U.S. has frittered away most of the fantastic manufacturing base it had for a century and government policies have pretty much eliminated our access to much of the natural resources that would be needed in another global war...
Indeed, and as i said, I do not think that we could fight WW1 or WW2 on its terms with the character overall of us today. Esp. college students.
Between environmental studies, governmental regulations, law suits, and other communist bullshit it takes approximately 10 years to get any type of mining going in the United States today.
AND THAT’S IF YOU ACTUALLY EVER GET PERMITTED!
