The US military used to have amazing logistics to the point that the navy built a mobile floating drydock &supply base to fight the Japanese without long supply lines.

This logistical prowess hasn't been tested in decades and is showing weakness.

The US economy likely unable to build up to support a war economy. Everything has been outsourced to China.

A war with the PRC may prove embarrassing to the USA.
