World War II was the last time anyone fought a large-scale land war of that magnitude. Advances in technology and war-fighting capability have made a WW2-style military obsolete.

The U.S. may be incapable of "nation-building" in Third World sh!tholes, but we could probably sink an enemy nation's entire 500-ship navy in about 45 minutes.
