The war chest isn't as big as you make it seem.
Ford only has $34 billion in cash on hand [[and that's including everything it would have to mortgage), but current liabilities are $98 Billion in total. All it will take is a mere several consecutive quarters of losses to wipe out that "chest."
True, Ford has a war chest most companies can only dream about, but it also has overhead that most companies only have nightmares about.
