For a very long time, the U.S. military industrial base has not been geared to the volume of usable weapons, the bread 'n butter of an army's arsenal [ shells/munitions. ] The military industrial base is structured in a manner that makes such a thing all but impossible: it's a mind-set flaw--a course correction will take a generation, if not longer. Or at all
