It’s really starting to sound like we need the conservative military in charge
The military retains a form of conservatism because novel, bone-headed ideas get people killed. Put the military in an area where their own survival doesn’t depend on their correctness, and you’ll be amazed at how bone-headed the military can be. The military leadership isn’t exactly that big on letting people innovate to discover their own ways of doing things, either... which is great when you’re trying to avoid being killed, but not exactly conservative when applied to economic policies, small government, and subsidiarity in general.
‘The conservative military in charge...’
Are you insane?
