From an unwanted dwarf to an all-powerful colossus, even the U.S. military now fears defeat.

The article compares the historical development of the U.S. military to highlight its transformation from a small, under-resourced force to a global superpower. It references early American struggles, such as George Washington’s limited army during the Revolutionary War and the inability of the U.S. to defend its capital from British attacks in 1814. The piece contrasts this with modern U.S. military capabilities, including nuclear-powered aircraft carriers like the Ford-class ships, which cost over 300 billion Czech crowns each. It also notes the shift in mindset among founding fathers, who viewed a standing army as a potential threat to democracy, advocating for militias instead. The article emphasizes the growth of U.S. military power over time and its role in shaping America’s global influence.
