@fgtech @odd @JohnPhilpin The war in Ukraine has been a big reality check for NATO countries. The Ukrainian forces were/are using more artillery shells in one day than the USA can manufacture in a month so we relied on our insufficient stockpiles which are now depleted. We've off-shored, consolidated, just in timed our manufacturing capability to the bare minimum required for peacetime procurement and we are just now realizing that those numbers are totally insufficient in a real shooting war.
