The Future of U.S. Military Doctrine Will Be Decided by Technology
- simonblack 7y agoLike the German military in WW2, the US military is over-dependent on technology. It does not matter if your weapons have a kill ratio of 100:1 if the enemy can throw 101 of his crappier weapons at you. In WW2, both the Soviets and the US made huge numbers of 'good-enough' weapons that swamped the small numbers of super-duper technology that the Germans used. Modern warfare is as much, if not more, dependent on a country's manufacturing capacity than its weaponry. The US does not have the manufacturing capacity in 2019 that it had in 1942. The country with the manufacturing capacity in today's world is China.
