When we jumped into WWII, we didn't have enough equipment. So we made it, quickly. Maybe we could try that same idea again and see if it still works. Maybe the WaPo could look into that.

"When we jumped into WWII, we didn't have enough equipment."

True, but in short order the country, including it's war industry, was mobilized.

We don't have the industrial base to do that. We have a single company manufacturing Humvees. A single source for trucks. A single source for armor kits. They don't ramp up that quickly.
