When a war comes with China we will start off outnumbered 4 to 1. The USA has never fought a war where we don’t have numbers on our side.

Few realize it now, but every American who can stand on two feet will need to fight in such a conflict for our nation to survive.

Revolutionary War and War of 1812. Pretty sure the British Empire outnumbered us.

Modern technology makes mass conscript armies useless.

The Gulf War is good example of what happens to anyone trying to field a mass conscript army. You might as well save time and money and just shoot your conscripts yourselves.

BTW, Vietnam is just one example of where the US fought massively outnumbered. I cannot think of any battle in Vietnam where the US had a numbers advantage.

“Few realize it now, but every American who can stand on two feet will need to fight in such a conflict for our nation to survive”.

And where do you think such a ground war against China will take place?

Where do you think this large land war will be fought and how? You yhink the chinese will invade, and have that long of a supply line. It would be all logistics.
