Standing armies are dangerous to civilians. I am ok with our thug run woke standing army dying on the vine. It is all good.

True that. Awhile back another Freeper made an interesting comment. He said that the president traditionally controlled the navy. So if he wanted the navy to fight pirates, he just ordered it.

But any use of the army required strict congressional approval. That part is now gone. If the president wants to commit the army, he just does it. In response, Congress might whine a little. But that’s it.

Welcome to the imperial presidency (obviously a very bad thing).

Unfortunately, Our military needs a black eye or two to on a field of battle to wake up. A sound defeat by China, Russia, Iran, NK, etc…is the only way to correct our declining military….until then the dark forces will continue their destruction.

It’s coming.
