That's only because our military supply system is bogged down in volumes of regulatory books and micro-management every step of the way.
Now if we conscript FEDEX and/or UPS to take over the supply system ----- .
"You want 20,000 rounds of .444 Marlin ammo? With magnesium tracer pills in the bases? Overnight? No problem. Already have your address logged in on our GPS computer. Just have enough guys to unload as we have to get some M-1928-A4 Thompson SMGs in .44 Automag over to the next Brigade."
Yeah, the weapons I visualize may be fantastic, but the idea is that I think turning over our supply system to private companies that have SPEED OF DELIVERY already worked out will get our GIs anything they want any time they want it.
