Now that established, what is it you want the military to do?&quot;

These questions will not be asked as long as the PTB are in control, because the answer to the first question, if asked of the American people, would probably be &quot;Run a fairly free, fairly prosperous mercantile republic with a minimum of fuss and bother to the populace&quot; and the answer to the second question would be &quot;Defend sain mercantile republic from enemies foreign and domestic, and look out for our vital interests overseas&quot; And those answers are the very last thing our &quot;rulers&quot; want to hear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Be that First Principles guy:

What is it we the United States want to do?

Now that established, what is it you want the military to do? 

Now that the ends are established let us discuss the resources necessary and costs. 

The goals should be adjusted to the resources and the methods allowed.

Methods:  as anything that looks bad in the media results in instant treachery to the soldiers or policemen or spies who do it, they are tossed to the wolves.   

Which brings us to reality:  you ain&#039;t got shit honey, no one who knows you and that&#039;s all the veterans is gonna pull the trigger for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only dilemma is how fledgling colonels and generals can earn their wings once the Pentagon finally pries from the Air Force brass&#039; cold, stiff, elderly grasp their otherwise-useless Cold-War hardware and its antique mystique.

Ninety percent of the alleged F-35&#039;s alleged trillion-dollar budget goes into massless-drive development, nine percent goes into subterranean bases, nine-tenths of one percent buys the finest politicians&#039; lubricant for the self-licking ice-cream-cone machine, and the rest goes to Indian-American computer programmers working on a contract on a contract on a contract.

Honestly, it&#039;s a joke.]]></description>
