The American voters, over time, get what they deserve. Our choices in November are clear. We are broke. Our kids can not pay off the debt we have accrued; it will take our grand kids to do this. As noted in the comments, our military has poured oceans of money on problems with little result. Those days are gone forever. Some hard choices must be made, Americans must decide:
Will we risk being conquered?
There are national leaders who enjoy rape, murder, and conquest. Do we accept that war kills people, and is necessary?
Do we accept that those dead bodies are not just our military’s responsibility; they are our responsibility?
There are two types of peace: the relationship between equals, or standing over the grave of your enemy. Do we accept this truth?
How much are we willing to pay to stay alive? Kept our kid alive in combat?
Our allies have hidden under the eagle since the 1940s. If Iran explodes a nuke in anger, it will melt an ally’s city. The US paid for ~ 70% of the munitions dropped on Libya, our allies ran out of weapons. Kuwaitis are not extinct because of the US military. They extract oil from their dirt for ~ $3/ barrel. When will our allies pay to stay alive?
When will we demand cost effective decisions from an organization with very few warriors, and oceans of bureaucrats? Statistically, they are not a martial society.
We desperately need a tough decision-making boss. Do we have one? Who is he?
