Through the better part of the aughts, this country had the best trained, equipped and combat experienced army in the world - bar none IMO. Combat veterans with multiple tours. Both active duty and reserve units.
Today we are left with the vestiges of a force that has been abandoned by the VA, decimated by Obama, and perverted by LGBTQ-whatever correctness. One might even question the training that it does within the confines of THIS country as having to do with protection of this country from without.
I am beginning to think that the only option to save the country begins with the word “c”.

There is one major difference between 1941 and today. Today we are broke. We have been on a "war time" spending spree for 8 years, without the war.

Charlie, he’s not on his way to doing it, it has been accomplished with willing lemmings in the Pentagon, queers in the military, acceptance of transgenders, purging the military of the best officers, affirmative action gone wild, total ships in the USN at the lowest levels in modern history, total military personnel at pre WW2 levels, etc. The commie in chief has brought this nation into the cesspool with nary a word of protest from the whore
RINO politicians.
