Today's reality is that the USA is weak with a tiny navy, and air force. Half the planes don't fly and sequestration has cut the heart out of our militaryand the men and women are sick and tired by too many tours of dutyand we're close to being driven from the western Pacific . Three Presidents have failed to do anything but lick the boots of North Korea and China permitting them to become valid nuclear nations.
And what are we concerned with? Trump's vituperation. Have we all gone soft in the head.? One too many Marvel Movies? So we fight with each other while holding back on funding the military. Do we need another Pearl Harbor to wake us up? If another Pearl happens our excuse is, "He was using swear words which offended us."I'm not sure whether to be shamed or embarrassed. Maybe both.
