  1. First of all, he did not have material advantage. Manpower and tank numbers at best. But in the first stages of the offesive he lacked artillery and aviation was doomed before he even arrived. The enemy also had the advantage of artillery and defensible positions which more than make up for numbers in most scenarios.

  3.  @seanpoltzer1107  I think the healthcare argument has been nicely summarised by one of our safety assessment professors with a quote from a human factors specialist (It's a lot of parphrasing. If I get to find the exact source, I will edit this comment). Actually remembered where it was from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzS5V5-0VsA&t=462s About 2 1/2 minutes in. 'What do you pay a hospital and a doctor for? To treat you when you are sick or injured. That's a sickness and disability system, not a healthcare system'. The first problem is that many people try to measure the efficiency of something that's unmeasurable. And from this all the shitty costs and arguments I've seen by lots of people against state healthcare. Healthcare is not meant to treat you while sick. A healthcare system is meant to be there whenever you need it. Unfortunetly politicians or private managers (depending on where you are from) dimension hospitals only for the sick and injured instead of dimensioning them for the whole population. If you design your healthcare to keep people checked up for any malign conditions, you will make it easier for them to plan surgeries ahead or allow them to have less invasive or less expensive options, somewhat balancing the cost of investment, not to mention the whole social benefit of not screwing people over over one night. The second issue with any healthcare system is that it unfortunetly fights a sysyphic battle. If you want to properly design such a system, you don't need just money, you need people to work in it. Unfortunetly, healthcare is one of the worst places for jobs because it meets all discouraging criteria: high skill, heavy workloads, high psychological and emotional pressure, and questionable pay. I know this from a close friend who is in medschool. She sacrificed her health and free time to get into that medschool (arguably the best in this shithole nation, but still) and that admission was only the easy part and did not compare to the finals. And her study period is twice if not almost 3 times as much as everyone else (6+2 years). And that's only to get a job with a 'respectable' position (aka not a nurse or receptionist). Unfortunetly, you cannot cut down on the training of people, because, again, you need them to be skilled and identify problems which might not directly relate with their speciality or work together with others. This alone discourages people from taking this medical route in life and the system has to cut down from them even more, since motivation without skill is dangerous. Then you have the workload, which is generated by the lack of infrastructure and the lack of personel for the task ahead, which discourages even more people who might deceide to quit it. Lastly, pyschological stress and questionable pay, kinda self explanatory.
