But I think US ability to organize and deploy faster is something that has materialized after army reforms around 1900-1905, as I understand from Barbara Tuchman biography of General Stillwell. It appears US had major trouble in managing a speedy mobilization in the Spanish American war, and so it does not alwyas imply that democracies have inherent capability to mobilize troops faster.
