For those who think a peacetime military is expensive, the cost is peanuts compared to a wartime military.

It is even more expensive NOT to have a military when an armed neighbor is intent on taking something you have and they want or need.

Assuming Russia and China slowly implode, which I think is the most likely scenario, most of the population losses will come from natural causes as the boomer bubble passes.
