Unfortunately, the idea of producing our way to victory is no longer a
luxury the U. S. will be able to count on. For the foreseable future
you guys are going to need to fight more like the Germans did in WWII;
superbly trained people who have to make do with limited resources.

This seems insane to me.

The Iraqis made do with limited resources.
The Afghanis made do with limited resources.

The United States spends more on defense than the entire continent of
Europe including Russia. We spend more than the entire continent
of Asia including China and India. We spend more on defense
than the top ten nations combined.

Going to your analogy, the Germans had less equipment than their enemies,
yet could win battles by better methods. The US does not face this challenge.

Sure, we face other challenges, but not this one.
