Yeah, and if the Navy is undermanned, overworked, underpaid, and overstretched, it means the US's most potent tool to actually meeting the commitments/goals DC wants is a shell of what it should be. That's not even taking into account officer cult nature of the Navy leading to rather poor...

Well that, and fights over who's Congressional district is going to be where the project is based/run.

Encouraging pop grow is an answer to budgetary issue, that is true. However, that is a long term proposal that doesn't do much to address the increasing gulf between what the US gov/military sees it's goals/commitments as vs what is actually sustainable in the long term. As for the black...

Oh, I agree redesigning the procurement process to be less wasteful is an absolute must. However, the simple fact is the US has overcommitted and overextended itself and it's military, relative to what it can actually sustain long term. Because the unwritten caveat to the idea that defense...

Very good point about the unsustainable levels of defense spending needed for all the geopolitical goals and commitments DC and the US military feels it has to deal with. We are going to have to pick and choose what geopolitical goals and commitments we can afford to keep supporting, while...

It's not 'hereditary priviledge', it's birthright citizenship you are scrapping, and that will never fly with me and most of the US. Dealing with illegal immigration does not require ending birthright citizenship, it just requires actually enforcing the laws on the books with regards to illegal...

That is not how the laws or anything in the US work, and for good reason. I want to deal with illegal immigration, not reduce the franchise of people who can vote legitimately, just because I do not think they are 'smart' enough. Down that road lies a lot of very dark and horrible things, if...

So now you just want to reduce the franchise of people with learning disabilities, so much better. :cautious: How about we deal with illegal immigration by actually controlling our borders, dealing with the corpo's who help keep it going, and the cartels who make it happen. You know, instead...

True, but how many people at that age actually listen to it seriously, instead of letting thier eyes glaze over as the teacher drones on. And your point about people with learning disabilities is absolutely legit. Though I get the feeling from some who push it that they'd be fine denying...

Trying to eliminate birthright citizenship completely is fucking dumb, as is trying to require every person born on US soil to take the citizenship test. We need to clamp down on illegal immigration and birth tourism, not try to screw people already here because they aren't civics nerds or...

I dare you to go say that to the Navajo, Crow, or Inuit.

With the incoming multipolar world, what the US needs to: 1) Focus on is protecting our own shores/borders 2) Get our allies to be more armed and more able to handle their own affairs 3) Gut the bureaucratic class of their power and gut corrupt agencies to pick out what is worth keeping and...
