That aside, I remember going by the old Seneca Army Depot and saw fatigue clad personnel doing menial tasks such as they could be seen from the main highway. They still had perimeter guards who most likely were not highly placed. Guys signed up for a hitch while they try to figure out their next move in life are not typically watching for what is going on base-wide or service-wide. That's all I am trying to say.

Still, the Chinese might not be entirely wrong this time - we've become a zero-risk society where we can't even let children walk outside alone, and there's strong debate even amongst professionals whether or not capital ships can be risked in combat. The Chinese would be ill-advised to start a war by sinking a carrier (the Japanese mistake wasn't sinking the Pacific Fleet, but starting the war by sinking it). But they'd most likely end a war by not even sinking one, just badly damaging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Airborne and armored units did quite well though. China is my main concern. And I share your fears. An army of mixed-gender, and transgenders will accomplish nothing in the field. Further, Americans are becoming more and more “French” in their views of war. Why? Take a look at the demographics. This ain’t the country that won WWII. Mixed demographics have brought mixed cultures which is eroding our western culture and destroying our warrior spirit. The gayosexualism of the modern era has brought new morales and ethics and they’ve declared any form of manliness to be toxic masculinity. We actually need a bloody bloody war to set things right in my opinion. But I doubt we win because of liberals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why trump said in the post I quoted you before that Iran can do what they want in Syria. It’s not full isolationism but it’s changing the role of America which I personally think is dangerous. But hey what do I know?

It was widely reported - BY CNN - that Obama pulled out of Iraq despite the lack of a status of forces agreement. How much history are they going to try to retcon? Quote if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. "Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. Shut them down.
