With regards to the Military

How many remember back in the 80’s when base closing was an issue?

If you believe (as I do) the function of the military is to kill people and destroy things, than we have a hollow military. Women in the military???? This is absurd on its face. Supporting roles - big maybe.

The civilian command structure is to blame. History repeats itself, Rome servers as a good example. The local politician has a base in the local community, the “military” employes locals. How does this help killing people and destroying things?

The RULES of engagement - Another asinine concept controlled by the civilian (elected) leadership.

Agreed ROES are just one of many problems we have with the war on the military which continues unabated.Just think how far the MB could get if our military was destroyed the way this regime is trying it s best to do.
