I could not agree with you more, cudaspaz. The main reason for our victory in WWII was the industrial might of the USA. Even Adm. Yamamoto expressed that same opinion immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I'm afraid the results would be drastically different today since we've 'outsourced' so much of our manufacturing capability. I do not understand why businesses, politicians, and the general public cannot see that. The lust for the dollar has weakened our realization of what will ensure our survival as a nation.
