You’d have a point if you made this comment 15 years ago, but Russia invaded Ukraine 10 years ago. Around the same time, China started to make outlandish claims on the South China Sea.

You can make a lot of complaints about the defense industry like waste and corruption, but a lack of a clear objective is no longer an issue.

Hopefully I’m beyond the draft age of it comes to it but I don’t want a shooting war in my lifetime.

You should read the 4th Turning which is about the Strauss Howe generational theory

Something like: Strong people make good times, good times make soft people, soft people make bad times, bad times make strong people?

Looks interesting I’ll check it out, thanks!

Yeah, but it’s more about another shooting war.
