You are spending a huge amount of money to maintain the US Army at its current size - 20 Divisions - 1,250,000 personnel 6,000 Abrams tanks, active and reserve - for what reason?

A. To send to Europe to fight Russia. That’s it. There is no other reason to maintain the US Army at its current size, with enormous stocks of reserve equipment.

The US is NOT going to fight a land war in Asia.

Wrong.

A. It’s called welfare for white people — including those who work for military contractors, those who work as lobbyists for them in Washington, those who work in the Pentagon, and even many white people who aren’t Americans (i.e., Ukrainian government stooges).

I believe you are incorrect about the size of the USA Army. I think it is less then 500,000. Army, Navy and Air force in total about 1,000,000 on active duty.

I've already proven this claim false. National Guard are not US Army until federalized by the CIC, which rarely happens. Civilians contractors are never consider US Army. So you have 463,083 active duty and 175,752 reserves. And I'll bet most of those reserves are inactive reserves, just like I was after leaving the USMC. 463,083 + 175,752 = 638,835 total. Bye.
