How much time in the military did you actually serve?



We've been in some type of war for the past 60 years against small weak third world armies with no navies, no air assets , no satellites , no nukes, no submarines, no drones , no counter intel, very little artilleries..... Non stop wars. And we lost every time spilling the blood of tens of thousands of good Americans and wasting trillions. And this time it will be different


That should be a clue. What a mighty powerful military we have lol


We are spending billions in the Ukraine and have thousands of advisors, troops, ex military CIA and the Ukraine and are s till losing the war


Remember all of the fire military experts like Jeffzero, Johnny vodka burns and ol toot saying the 40 years surplus javelinas were game changers lol

If we are proposing actions, I’m not on board with wholesale moneys dumps, Brandon style, anywhere, here or anywhere else in the world. I am firmly in the camp that believes in America, first, because the weak can’t help the weak.

That said, do I believe is is kin our best interest to test our military strength against our potential enemies? Without spending American blood? Heck, yeah, I do. This war in Ukraine is upending our assumptions about the battle of the future. It casts doubt on hugely, massively, insanely expensive weapons systems and aircraft. We spent some treasure, sent a bunch of near expiration date weapons and munitions, have men and equipment observing and learning a LOT.

We’ve also seen the reputation of Russia as a military power completely demolished.

Just those two factors, learning what weapons will work on the modern battle field, and the elimination of Russia as a “peer” adversary CAN save this country trillions in dollars and more, much more, in young American lives in the future.

But again, none of that comments in any way on Brandon’s firehose of tax payer money.
