How could you have started ramping up production months ago, when Drumpf only brought your execs in recently to beg you to do so?

This clearly was not a thought out war, hence the munitions reseeves were still depleted. If anyone had any foresight, I think they'd work on the munitions reserves BEFORE starting a war.

Not trying to pacify the public with some half assed PR statement saying that they began working on munitions "months ago."

yeah, ok, so where are they?

These mfkrs are still in the process of retooling their factories to ramp up production.
