germany and japan had a head start on the us in ww2. they had battle hardned troops from years before. I will agree the german scientists were good however the japenese were not. the sucess of the japanese is due to us after ww2 after midway it was down hill for them. had they not been such fantics. the war with japan would have been over sooner. we gave them the information to get them where they are today after the war.

The idea that military power is measured in square miles seems quite simple minded to me. Consider Israel...genius.
