Regarding the article... there is no consideration given to lessening our nation's commitment to all its various wars. There is no discussion of whether we should continue to send troops. There is not even the suggestion that -- holy shit -- maybe we should reconsider our current engagements and decide where our existing, and substantial, resources would be better spent.
I'm anti-war, but I'm not anti-military. And anti-war is a ridiculous stance that ignores all of human reality, so it's not something I can honestly take seriously and argue in favor of.
This ridiculous diatribe ignores both the causes of our current situation and the potential results of sending everyone in the damn nation out to fight, or support, regardless of their skills. Yes, by all means, let's inflate the military and support ranks! Not only will it burgeon all sorts of military posts, it will drain all the service industries those people previously occupied.
Another silver bullet with a lead lining, shot straight into the heart of our economy. The author fails as an economist, a strategist, and even a nationalist.
Might be a strong contender for President.
