We need an army like the movie "Soldier" with Kurt Russel. Those guys were hard as nails and had been since they were eight years old.
[Le service militaire romains durait 20 ans.]
Our military is full of people who joined becuase they had no skills and this was literally the EASIEST way to make a good salary and be able to retire.
I have a hard time standing by our military when the only battles they fight are geo-political, or outside you local nightclub.
We have them brainwashed to think they are invincible and the reality that no one is can be a shocker, especially when it was your doctorine.
Now when some country comes knocking at our door looking to invade, sign me up, I guaruntee I will have no remorse for doing what is morally right.
Don't want to paint everyone with one brush here, but this may be a situation where it's neccesary.
Bring our soldiers home, and weed out the weak.
Leave only the jarheads and train them up for an invasion on our soil.
No more PTSD, and military budget is axed considerably.
Thats your daily thought outside the box..
