    That’s only because we haven’t actually gone to war in a long time. Showing off our shiny toys in Desert Storm wasn’t a full scale war. Nor have any of our other excursions been. But a fight with China? You bet your ass we’d need a never ending line of barely trained soldiers to keep up with the bloodshed. We can only hope such an event never happens.

      A fight with China would be over within hours, leaving both countries reduced to radioactive craters. We won’t even need soldiers for that, let alone cannon fodder.
