Abstract
The article discusses the risks of assuming that future military conflicts will result in quick victories, drawing parallels between historical events and current global tensions. It highlights the inadequacies of the American arms industry in preparing for potential conflicts, particularly with China, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the lessons from past wars, such as those involving Japan and Germany during World War II. The text warns that the belief in swift military success can lead to prolonged and costly engagements, as seen in recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and stresses the need for comprehensive preparation to avoid similar pitfalls in future confrontations.
