the way i see things peace through superior fire power it works for me.
"The Peacemaker" I think this slogan, painted on the wall of the enlisted chow hall of the USS IOWA, says it all.
If we had compulsory military training and service for all citizens, both male and female, this would not be a problem. (that's another topic, though.
We have to ,"get to, be at, maintain," a true "ready reserve." Ready for whatever it might take to enhance, maintain and defend the USA and her citizens.
If 260,000 of our troups are ghost soldiers, we are in deep shit.
