"People like to think of this current US as the US that won WWII. Well, it's not. We don't have the production capacity, the workforce, nor the budgeting/financing capability anymore."

Thank you for your input. You are absolutely right. This country is nothing like it was in WWII. The mass production that took place to wage that war is something that will never be seen in this country ever again. That was a special time with special people, and they got the job done. Not so today.

A while back I watched a British produced, three season documentary series called "War Factories." It ran from 2019 thru 2022. I believe some or all of the episodes can be found on YouTube. There are 22 of them, and they are very well done. On IMDb, the storyline for the series states: "This series is more than the story of war production, it's the untold story of World War II. No matter how many soldiers or how clever the generals, how daring the strategy, a war cannot be won if there are not enough weapons or food."

Here's the IMDb page for the series:
