        Sorry I was admittedly kinda vague. No point in having the world’s best military when it’s protecting a country that has destroyed the middle class, expanded the poverty class, secured inadequate funding for social security, failed to give its children a quality education in primary school, and priced secondary education into the stratosphere despite decades of telling kids college is the only thing that will get them a better job than flipping burgers.

        Are all those things literally true? No, but some of them are, and they are all headed that way. Would be great if somehow a good military wasn’t the only thing anyone was willing to fund.
