From what I can see of the nations in the world, we will be reducing our armed forces exactly when we will soon have need of them.<br /><br />As the US is a nation of only 300,000,000, there is no way that we can afford to fight conventionally.<br /><br />IMHO, we should be designing and fabricating all of our military gear here in the US by vetted American citizens.<br /><br />Our "supposed" allies simply have neither the will or the funds to do us any good, and the prospect of sabotage is growing. Plus, it takes a long time to reverse engineer military gear that has been designed by a foreign business in a foreign country.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.com
