My view is that war cannot be successful unless it's total war, like during WWI and WWII. If it's not set up like that, it will probably fail, because the Joe Citizen says, "Okay so we're fighting. What's in it for me?" During a total war, Joe Citizen has a job and is helping his country win. The only way to do that in a situation like the current war is to join the military, which he may not want to do if he's 30 with a wife and kids.Which reminds me of a sign we had in our Company CP in the Sand Box.
America is at War!
Naw really the Military is at War.
America is at the Mall.
On a side note, does the US even have the capability to do that anymore? With Detroit in sad shape, Pittsburgh a well-maintained ghost town, and Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) being the fastest shrinking county in the US with the exception of Hurricane ravaged New Orleans Parish, not to mention Flint, Lansing, Buffalo, Youngstown, Gary, Erie, or any other Rust Belt city, can we build enough steel to sustain ourselves in the event of a serious war?
