As the conflict continues to ramp up in the Middle East, and tensions continue to rise across the globe, some national security experts are issuing a stark warning: The U.S. is not prepared for a major war.
"While we fought a lot of proxy wars like Vietnam, and obviously the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we haven't had any sort of major war against another country that has a comparable military" said Harry Kazianis, executive director with the National Interest.
But ready or not, the chances of the U.S. entering into a major war are legit.
"it is a legit threat" Kazianis told KTRH, "And I would point you right to the war in Ukraine. The threat of a war is real, and that threat is very real before we get a new president."
The bottom line, right now our U.S. military doesn't have the right technology, and we are short on equipment and personnel.
