Only way to go. BTW, It's not even close to "up", it's getting there but it can be stopped.

I'm sure someone has studied why all those empires eventually failed. Is there a common thread? What is it? If we knew, we could avoid it.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I will only be convinced the U.S. is done when I'm in a smoldering pile of dirty dusty chit taking my last breaths.
Trump Won!

I think the U.S. has changed.
Public opinion and voting has turned socialist.
The government doesn't serve the people any longer.
The press has no sense of duty to honesty or truth anymore.
Public schools are nothing more than socialist indoctrination centers run by government now. Our kids are the future, and we are seeing what that reaps now.
We'd better make a start towards turning that around, or it will be changed permanently.

And I think you are selling your people short on this, give them more credit.
I do.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

When you're at the top of the heap everyone wants in on the action. The problem is that the ones wanting in on the action weren't capable of building that empire themselves, otherwise they would have. The empire can't sustain itself after it's taken in all of the neighbors wanting a free ride and collapses. It's what happened to Rome, the British Empire, and it's what's happening to America. The ones running America today aren't the same type of people that made it great. We've got a government more concerned about redistributing wealth based upon someone's skin tone than allowing industry to create jobs. The same government is more concerned about using the military as a springbox for advancing homosexual rights than winning wars. Winning wars is far down the list of priorities for our military right now. Basically the leadership of our country has been usurped and we're now being looted.

I hope all realize I have an original assault rifle. Offhand, it appears we are a functional pair. You should see my battle ax.
