Indeed. I fear this is coming to the USA, in spades.
Politiicians and DC cronies of all kinds have feasted for decades on printed US dollars, massive debt, and general peace and prosperity. And while they have scammed the system with $Billion ships that last only 5 years, they have turned the military into just another bloated, woke, politicized bureaucracy.
I'm afraid they have set themselves, and us, up for a great humiliation.
Whatever the US military does wrong, its a very minor part of the US spending problem.
