While America was never stretched to breaking point, it never faced invasion, being bombed from the air, it did not have 10%+ of its population in the Military but if it did it still could cope with its tens of millions in the workforce.

I was wanting vR to validate his claims. I apologize if a bullet whizzed by your head. That is the thing with friendly fire, it ain't "friendly."
