Rational Americans would like to unUN from US Territory and if not destroyed it ought to be in Switzerland where the tptb rules things. Israel is showing how to achieve this.
"The US can now honestly disassociate itself from Israeli actions it feels are embarrassing if not harmful to it, while profiting from those same actions." And hopefully supporting Israeli actions on the QT. Also, how long, I wonder, before the military (the real one, not the Pentagon DEI show) becomes fully private? They're already farming out some of the work to "contractors". Or maybe staff the military with janissaries, in effect; citizenship-for-service, as the Romans did. It kept the empire alive long after real Romans became few.
My own opinion, not held by many on the US right is for a draft. Only by self sacrifice will the young understand what it takes to defend freedom and country. And love both.
The draft provided a useful democratizing influence in society. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible in current society. To forcibly implement it now -even if the political will could be found- would provoke violent reaction. It would only work -to a degree- in the event of a real national emergency. Meanwhile, many of the officers coming out of the services academies are completely frag-worthy.
Excellent article!

As many zaidy's said: you made your bed now sleep in it!
Concrete blonde finished their song still in Hollywood with that line done in a proper Uncle Max accent and it still gives me giggles.
