Because US isn't fighting in modern peer wars
money, equipment becomes much more efficient but also more expensive
tanks planes and ships are expensive to produce and very expensive to maintain over time. when not currently at war it's cheaper to simply have the bare minimum of equipment and the capability to produce more when needed
because the world is poor, poorest its been in centuries, but with the illusion, that its rich.
also, ships are useless, planes are useless, and tanks are useless.
we live in a drone and Playstation controller missile guiding system times.

More effective and on target ammunition means 1 can do what took 10 or more before them.
By now you should realize tanks are pretty much useless and thus war is now gay.
world wars where great powers are btfoing each other
vs
usa killing some random peasants in some backwater country

>world war
>whole world industry focuses purely on war economy to churn as much heavy weapons as possible for mobilized armies all around the world
>modern era (not world war)
>countries send spare weapons to countries as aid for localized or proxy conflicts.
