JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:does the space force meaningfully deploy? do they have infantry? i guess what i'm getting at is, does the space force become the "safe" military branch? I am led to believe it’s an office job but under military discipline and uniform standards. which is the stupidest way to run an office.

We don't even see a picture of the prototype and they are going to award the NGAD contract next year. Is this common? Is this like the first seed money of a start up you just need a good elevator pitch to get money?

the main point of the us military-industrial complex isn't to produce actual usable weapons, it's to facilitate a massive wealth transfer from regular taxpayers to the rich, hth

Light infantry harassing the army is guerilla war. Partizans were a huge part of the great patriotic war mythos. Partizans were also not the army in the field.

It's gonna rule when our opponets negotiate a better contract for them mid war. I was just thinking today that when Russia wins in Ukraine it would almost be criminally stupid for China not to take Taiwan back since the West all be rubbing in fumes expending everything to empower a Nazi government. Hell even if the Russians lose the stocks are still empty

"smaller" "politically neutral" "professional armed forces" I'm sorry, but this just sounds like mercenary bands who go from patron to patron depending on the size of the contract. "politically neutral" is one hell of a sinister phrase! lmao that they don't see it like that though!
