We still spend too much on it. We’re following Germany’s fallacy from World War 2 of trying to have all of our equipment be the bestest ever instead of good enough. Accounting for inflation last time I looked we’re spending twice what we were when we invaded Iraq.
That’s… That’s my point. We won world war 2 with equipment that was great strategically and logistically, but was merely good enough tactically. We’ve switched positions. We need to realize that a million man military can’t be gold plated.

I wasn’t counting all of the reserves because we accept that they get old equipment.
