Did we sit it out after Pearl Harbor because we were outgunned and out organized by Imperial Japan, and Nazi Germany?
The F4F Wildcat was under powered against the Japanese Zero. Our fathers and grand fathers went after them.
The Zero could out climb the Wildcat. The Wildcat would stall, and have to dive before the Zero, putting the Zero Right on its 6. Shot a lot of them down till we got the much more powerful F6F Hellcat into the fight.
Britain's Hawker Hurricanes and Typhoons against the German BF 109?
American M4 Sherman Tanks were a Death Trap against German Tigers. Only sure way to kill a Tiger was get behind it and shoot it in the back. Lot of good men died.
B-17 raids?
86% of the crews never made it back.

But Virtue Signaling by sitting it out is despicable.
