The U.S. military forces have or are developing the arms and equipment, firepower and logistics for nuclear wars and guerrilla wars. But we are a long way back in the development of the needed modern weapons and ammunition in the quantities needed for conventional wars. : Specifically: 1. Missiles have largely replaced conventional guns on cruisers and destroyers. As one admiral put it to me privately “I’d be caught naked if I was ordered to fight a naval engagement without using nuclear weapons. I wouldn’t have what it takes to fight with.
