My father was military, ALL 3 of my brothers were militarchy, my son was military and my daughter served in the DOD in intelligence.
We have nothing but contempt now for the people running the military and abhor how the generation sees America.
There is little reason left to risk your life in service to the current government and social engineered culture.
If the country burns we will fair better than most, not to mean we won’t get caught up in something horrible, just we are prepared and can accept such difficulties.
We have a running joke of who is allowed in the compound, half serious, you have no life skills, you live outside in the wilderness.
Oh and I was military

My solution is to pull out of NATO. The Mansfield amendment.
>> just we are prepared and can accept such difficulties
I agree with you. The prepared will fare better. I would not leave my rural “compound” and return to the Big City for any amount of $$$.
Still, wouldn’t it be better to avoid the whole bloody civil war thing by having a huge Christian Awakening and Reformation that converts, and DISCIPLES, a billion souls worldwide? That’s what I’m praying for (even as I prepare for less desirable outcomes).
