The problem with a modern Pearl Harbor, given an attack by a peer opponent, is one of time. Modern war has the potential of inflicting a deadly blow far sooner than what it would take to flush incompetent leadership from reins of power.

In WW2 and civil war we could find the correct men because eventually they would show up.

We might still have those men, somewhere, but it would be a rush to find them before lasting damage has been done.

I don’t think the manpower is available, now. At the end of WW2 the USA had 60 percent of age 18-29 in the US military.

Today the US military says that only 23 percent of the 17-24 population is even capable of military service.

And every Western country is exactly the same.
