I mean it'd be one thing if the Reformers were just taking healthy skepticism of emerging technology way too far. But it also feels like they were conspiciously ignoring the sheer scale of the conventional material advantage the Warsaw Pact had over NATO. You can say mass producing loads of cheap "rugged" weapons is the key to victory, but what's the actual plan to use that to win (or deter or manage a draw) against the Soviets when they got that shtick down so well already? The reformers seemed pretty mum about arguing for going total war economy in order to manage conventional parity with the Soviets on a numerical basis.
