Even if you did the USA can't manufacture the resources they could 70 years ago.  Look at vaccines a few decades ago vs polio and smallpox. Kinda moot point US doesn't need large amounts of manpower to win a war. They do to win the peace though but what's a couple of trillion wasted dollars here and there huh? NZ had the thought censorship in the allies in WW2 that's gone the government doesn't gave those powers anymore and society won't accept it.</blockquote>
