all true datruth. fat lot of good all the ultra modern toys have done us; we've been in afganistan for a decade with that stuff.
on the other hand....this country for decades didn't keep a huge standing army. a big portion of our strength was our ability to ramp up production and get a lot of people trained and mobilized in a pretty short period of time. we were never a superpower til after ww2. that hasn't made us or the world safer, but it's become a significant drain on our treasury. now, to cut the bloat will be painful in the short term-but absolutely necessary for the long term.
