Wow.

The US also has a large amount of war ships being built right now.

When I was in the Navy word was that the next major war would require a strong use of sea and air. FYi the Navy as more air crafts than the Air Force

With technology as advanced as it is, ground forces in the event of a major war are not how you'll win. Drones, aircraft, and long range missiles!

Yup,

The next big war could be a mess.

Could be?

It's a guarantee.

FWIW I've got a Nephew in the Army somewhere in the Middle East. He's in his 2 tour of duty (year 7) and will probably be with the Army for the full 20 yrs.

He says the technology available to him is more than anyone could imagine. Other than that he don't say much. 

My son in law is also in the Army. He is in IT. He is in Wisconsin though. He echos my Nephew almost word for word. Technology available to the US Military in general is mind boggling.

If you thought Desert Storm was high tech, just wait.

Thing is, China is the industrial powerhouse of the world. If China converted their factories the way the US did in WWII it would be a massive war of attrition for whoever they fought, like what Russia did in WWII. Just throw bodies at their enemy until the enemy ran out of bodies.

 

A while back their army and the Indian army were throwing rocks at each other. India vs China in a war, THAT would be a mess. Both have nukes and over one billion people.
