Yeah, but we had in excess of over 1 million men to fight in those campaingns, today to the total ground fighting force is less than 900,000 and that's including the Army and the Marines plus their reserves and gaurds. I have fought against these enemies in the first gulf war, in somalia, in kosovo, and in afganistan last year. To much war for an old man of 38

Thank you for your service.

I think our current force is much more capable than that of WWII. No reflection on them. If they had the same weapons, communications, and logistics back then as we do today, they wouldn't have needed as many men either!
