Toss in a little " self entitlement" that is present in many people along with that. In a large war scenario, I honestly don't think enough people would pitch in to the effort, with most opting to "let others do it". This is why I believe that we no longer have the capacity to win any major wars

You have to believe we do and that is all I can say.

This part I don't necessarily disagree with, except that major wars have a way of galvanizing the workforce.

And pushing nations further into debt.
