Good debate but lets look at the bottom line. The Germans could not out produce the Soviets or the Western Allies. The King Tiger is a great tank but its like a swiss watch vs a casio...u can mass produce a billion casio's but u have to take great care with a great swiss watch. Lets look at the US. The Chinese have a bigger millitary and the Soviets did as well..but we make everybody look like children. The things we can do..logistically, our navy etc. Its the Nco's, our ridiculously exact planning etc. We train our officers better, our troops have better baseline equipment. Are there things out there that could be done better sure, We're shit canning the M-16 family of weapons, hopefully the M-9 will go as well...but our guys are better trained and prepared. Unless ur prepared to kill everybody, nobody wins and insurgency and we're winning in Iraq. Since 1989...there has never been a more powerful force.
