It is certainly a reality that the best deterrent of war is a good defense ( ie peace through strength)

We were ill-prepared for WWII and "but for" the response from USA manufacturers we would have been in dire straits .

Waging war has as much appeal as paying taxes but both are better than the alternative.

I think perhaps there could be better management of financial, physical and human resources n our military.

Too many people don't appear to understand our capitalist system and a desire to move to socialism.

They do not have any skin in the game and so war is a subject for others.

It is interested then they these same people believe that wealth ought to be shared but ignore the shared responsibilities that go to keeping this nation free.

Simply stated just watch an hour of television and you will see multiple examples of how the crazies are taking over this nation.

We need to return to the rule of law and order.

And we won't until we are able to have a national discussion.

And we can't have a national discussion because certain elements both foreign and domestic are working to keep this nation divided

We are in my view at the precipice
