Isn’t the purpose of the defense production act to spur production? It’s almost inconceivable to me that the US (and Europe) can’t send more shells than Ukraine can shoot after two years of war.
As the Arsenal of Democracy, our production ability is shameful. How technically difficult is it to make a standard shell?

Yes, it is. And it underscores how poorly we're prepared for a protracted war.

Our procurement system is in really bad shape and hasn’t worked well since the end of the Cold War. Our military manufacturing base is also much smaller than it was in 90.
The arsenal of democracy doesn’t exist as you imagine it.

With our modern military and the way WE would fight a war ourselves, are shells really something that should matter much to us? I wouldn’t think we would use many.
