If you bring every single industry in the country to Texas, her ability to stand strong will be greatly magnified. I was thinking about it before. If you bring in the ability to manufacture new WWII-era aircraft, using modern materials and techniques, and really build a lot of them, you could achieve some superiority, as well as recon the TX-Mexico border and respond to threats from there.

Bring arms manufacturing to TX, and I’m talking about heavy duty stuff. If you can get some robust aircraft built, and build a ton of Browning M2s, you could even arm craft like Cessna Skyhawks and television-news style Bell helicopters.

I have more ideas, I just need to be presented with a problem seeking a solution. But be warned, I didn’t go to college, and we all know how much those are worth (not the parchment they’re printed on).

Sorry dude, but in the 21st century, drones would blow up your WWII replicas where they were parked. There is a lot more to ownership of the skies than aircraft alone, and the USA owns the skies. You couldn’t fly a stealthed sparrow over a USA military installation, while the AF would strike with impunity from aircraft you didn’t even know was in the air.

“Bring arms manufacturing to TX, and I’m talking about heavy duty stuff.”

You mean like Lockheed-Martin (the builders of the F-35 and F-16), or Triumph Aerostructures (Vought Aircraft Division), Goodrich (ejection seat manufacturer). . .those sorts of guys?
