One of the biggest ironies is that despite generally having more advanced and better quality tech at the beginning of WW2, as well as incredibly effective military organization, Germany lost due to simply being overwhelmed with Soviet numbers and American manufacturing capacity. Yet here we are now with a military that has the most advanced tech and largely has the best training, yet our manufacturing capacity is crap and we've outsourced so much of our economy to our biggest rival.
How did our government forget the lesson of WW2 within a generation?
How? Oh that's easy.
It was deliberate. We didn't actually win the Cold War, ideologically speaking. We failed to rid ourselves of the enemy within. And they're still stabbing us even now.
