Different situation. We we facing a fresh, purposeful Soviet Union, a nation with nearly 200 Army divisions (versus maybe 20 divisions for the US if you count the 3 USMC divisions), 55,000 main battle tanks versus maybe 12,000 for the US, a navy and nuclear delivery force larger than those of the USA and its allies put together. An existentially greater threat than a bunch of modernity-hating goathumpers.
