Economic confusion in 1917

edit

This section seems to use particularly emotional language and has numerous typos. Consider removing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitchell316 (talkcontribs) 03:16, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

the tone captures the way historians handle the very confused crisis. for example "mobilization fiascos of 1917" and "waste, artificially high prices and inefficiency characterized Army procurement" and "economic crisis" [For the Common Defense by Allan R. Millett and ‎Peter Maslowski]. Likewise Russell Weigley points to "many false starts and disappointing output" [American Way of War p 208] The countrys's transportation system --based on the railways--collapsed and companies could not send anything long distance--is that not "amazing".
