I think it was to be able to fight two wars simultaneously. But to be honest, I think we’ve cut back to the point we’d have trouble fighting even one right now. Two is out of the question.
You would be surprised how fast we could ramp that back up.
One thing is for certain, you frick with this country, people tend to rise up and put every little petty bullshite aside.

I don’t know about all that. There seems to be a portion of this country that would probably blame us for an attack or just wouldn’t help out at all.

Leadership is part of warfare. How can Germans be given "God" status with poor leadership at the top?

That’s why I said that people with ancient armies like Rome and Mongolia should’ve been split up. The Rome of yesteryear and Italy of today, aren’t in the same league militarily.
But, in Greece it mentioned Alexander and in Spain it mentioned the conquistadors. And in France it said “historically one of the best armies”

So, Germany gets routed in WWI, WWII, and makes numerous mistakes on the way to those beatings, but is God Tier?
UK would have been defeated in WWII without US intervention and lost to colonists during the American Revolutionary War, and is God Tier?
Militarily, the US is absolutely God Tier. But, mix in the politicians that call the shots, and you get epic let downs.

Gallipoli was won by shitty planning and execution by the Brits.
Pretty much anyone with the geographic advantage the Brits planning afforded their opponents, would have whipped the Brits.
Ottomans were a shadow of anything resembling decent at that point.

May have lost in the First World War if we didn’t step in, as well. Hard to say though, their blockade of Germany was really putting the German citizenry into dire straits had the war gone on passed 1918.

I wouldn’t put Germany on the God Tier but they would be very high on my list up until 1945. They beat the biggest power in the world in the First World War and brought the traditionally best army and best navy to the brink in that war in France and GB in the same war. All while fettered to a corpse being the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In WWII they destroyed France in no time and almost and probably would’ve defeated the British had Hitler not listened to Goering and attacked the British mainland after Dunkirk and not tried to beat them through the air. And they damn near took the USSR down too until they got stopped on the outskirts of Moscow. The German military of the First and Second World War were two highly effective machines.

Im sorry but Americans, historically, are some badass warfighters. That is all we have done since our nation's inception is fight and win - so I don't at all understand how these clowns figure "poor soldiers," that is laughable. Basic history shows it was the United States soldier that broke Germany, a "God Tier" nation, TWICE in world wars. It wasn't the UK that did that.
