    The problem with the US military is the violent thugs it employs don't make :the-pigs: salaries

      Unironically, causing a split between the enlisted and commissioned officers over pay is part of my personal Belden Program.

        I'm not sure that it can happen, the US military can easily just throw out any dissenters and still be left with enough people who are there for the "love of the game" (=killing people for fun) to still have a functioning army.

          I mean at this point the military is massively failing its recruitment goals (army by something like 22 percent) and have to draw from past servicemen and national guard, anything that reduces those numbers more is good

          I just need soldiers. I don't care if they are officially part of the military anymore.

      If Obama was like "I'm good at killing people" and then turned around and found out that the US military doesn't have any weapons left, because ALL the money went to corruption, literally millions of lives would be saved.
