 when you have multiple theaters that are vital and you don't have enough resources to cover the base. You don't ignore things that are vital. And where did we do this? World War II, right? So the strategy was defeat Germany first. What did we do when the first year of the United States was in the war? We sent more men and resources to the Pacific than we did to Europe. Why did we do that? Because we wanted to make sure that the Japanese could not control the first and second island chain, because if they could, we would never go back and defeat them.
