re: #103 Targetpractice
For the foreseeable future, we will be stuck as being an actor of last resort on the world stage.
Knowing that, we must start sweeping out the bloat and corruption, and move towards more efficient procurement.
This means things like the F-35 get wiped. Simply, it will never live up to expectations, or the planes it will replace for that matter.
And, as I love to point out, the Social Democracy of Norway, proudly way off in lefty-ville, has twice the number of troops per capita we do. We have a bloated and inefficient military.
To borrow from the Ottomans, we need a New Model Military.
