“Winston Churchill once said ‘The history of man is war.’”
What does that mean to you, that war and imminent war is all that ever happens? Because normally historians weed out the less interesting parts. If peace is less interesting, so be it, but it’s there. Even if it’s only a matter of time before the next war, there is time between wars.
“The Founding Fathers knew that they would always have to be on a war footing”
Nice try. Notwithstanding the hopes and dreams of Hamilton rhey didn’t even believe in a standing army.
“new big powers like China and Russia”
They aren’t new.
“Now we are back to worse than before the War of Independence”
It’s not worth arguing with someone who can seriously declare such a thing.
If Olog-hai is wrong we have a strong vibrant economy and a huge manufacturing base and we remain at peace while "wasting" money on defense. However if you are wrong we will be conquered and sent to the dust bin of history so a few could make a quick buck under the guise of "free trade"..
I'll take my chances with the industrial base intact..
Funny an article about midway which proves that an industrial base is critical to freedom is being molested by a free trader. LOL.
