What was the cost of US military preparedness during Vietnam.
The current conflict in the Middle East between the United States and Israel vs. Iran has brought forth questions about U.S. military preparedness and its readily available supply of weapons across the globe to respond to future conflicts.(Taiwan, Eastern Europe, etc)
Was this a discussion back in the 1960’s and 70’s while the U.S. was heavily engaged in Vietnam? Were there questions about U.S. military preparedness in defending Western Europe from the Warsaw Pact when so much of the military was bogged down in the jungles of SE Asia for ~7 years of open warfare between 1965 and 1972?
