What do you mean?
I'm not trying to troll or anything at all, promise.
I just always thought & heard because of the sheer number of chinese people, that a war against them is all but unwinnable.
A long time ago with a job that had me driving pilots to and from the airport, I ran this kind of thinking by a retired Marine. My thought was that America would lose in a war to China because they stole our technology and mass produced it while having huge amounts of bodies. His response? "I'd rather have a bunch of Chinese soldiers charging at me than a bunch of angry Marines."
Take all this as you will, but if the PLA outnumbers the Indian army and still loses in a border skirmish then I don't see them having victory over the US military.
This is the beauty of the 2nd amendment: what, 100M/120M Americans proficient in firearms use? Many of those vets with some skills and a bad attitude about being insulted. Not sure there's a real equal contest here.
Do you really think we are going to get into war with china? Like an actual shooting war?
I thought I've read reports that in the war games we've run on that, we do NOT come out looking good because of the sheer numbers.
There's roughly 330 million Americans total; there are about 1.3 BILLION Chinese, last I heard. Maybe up to 1.4 billion by now....
I think their army alone is like 2 million communists.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.....
China has no combat capabilities.

I think you seriously underestimate their capabilities. The Taliban have no ships, tanks or planes but have managed to fight a coalition for 20 years.
Nope.
Talibans have beliefs and religion. They're willing to die for their cause.
Communists have neither. Destroy the image of the party and their entire population and military will collapse.
We were NEVER fighting to win, it was a DS perpetual war to make money for [them]. Once Trump got in it was over rather quickly.
Huge population that they can't feed, stolen military... I think they have only 1 aircraft carrier and no other naval capabilities that compare.
Why is that?

Fast forward to more recently and I've done a stint in the Army. First-hand experience with our military coupled with news of Chinese military action( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKwTfpviFw0&ab_channel=ChinaUncensored ) has me believing that China's military is actually extremely weak. According to this infotainment source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydw-P7U9KtA&ab_channel=TheInfographicsShow they don't even use body armor.

I do think there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to sheer numbers. If your technologies are far greater.
Voluntary draft. I think you’d be surprised how many patriots would sign on. Millions were at dc last week.
