What if FDR didn't push the National Rearmament Act of 1939 through? From this thread https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=235164 What if the army was 1/2 the size of OTL when war broke out? What if we had to rely on the Brewster Buffalo instead of the Wildcat? Only light tanks armed with machine guns or small calibre guns at best? No Grant or Lee tanks and no Shermans until 1942 or so? 3 less aircraft carriers , 5 less BBs, 10 less cruisers ,20 less DDs and 30 less frigates. The Filipino troops having to use Springfields instead of Garand rifles. Then there is the secondary effect of Europe's colonial troops being upgraded by using US castoffs. The DEI used biplanes before we sold them our Buffaloes.
