v National service should be a rite of
passage similar to Robert A. Heinlein’s famous line in Starship
Troopers, “A citizen
has the courage to make the safety of the Human race their personal
responsibility.” A civilian does not. Military service is
one route to
true citizenship.
v We need a strategic umbrella of tactical satellites with offensive capabilities in orbit before our enemies have a chance to completely annihilate our domestic communications system. In a worse case scenario: The war would be over before we knew it began. If we can think it -- our enemies can too. v China and Russia have already formed a secret pact to stage a two front invasion of the United States once our domestic internal corruption and moral bankruptcy has run its full course. We can avert that contingency by forcing our morality to match our technology. Forewarned is forearmed. v China and Russia do not see themselves as our enemies: From their point of view, they will be attempting to save us from ourselves. v The CIA predicts that by 2015, the next world war will be fought over water. The Boy Scouts know how to collect water in arid regions and could sell that knowledge as a fund raiser. BSA should encourage scouts to expand water-collection technology through eagle scout projects. v America has never been invaded because our enemies are afraid of the rural population, as dramatized in the movie, Red Dawn. v Air Force enlisted personnel should be offered realistic avenues for officer candidate consideration. Other DoD branches offer realistic paths to a commission. The Air Force could benefit from more prior-enlisted officers. v Air Force officers with enlisted
experience
have a more-rounded operational view; respond more efficiently to
mission
requirements and issue orders that demonstrate a solid operational
grasp.
v The Air Force should reinstate the
Warrant Officer program and apply the savings toward R&D
for improved offensive space-based
platforms. We need a full-time orbital
presence.
v Military personnel who can't recite
the Oath of Enlistment or the Officer's Oath should separate from
active duty.
v US troops have EVERY RIGHT to treat
enemy insurgents with as much brutality as they wish:
When the insurgency stops – the abuses will stop. Or shoot a cameraman instead.
v An American veteran should never be denied medical treatment in the US. I can’t believe the concept needs additional clarity, but evidently, it does. v Warrior occupations should be based
on aptitude and character, rather than gender. Effeminate men
have excelled in roles traditionally reserved for non-combatant women
and there are hard core women who easily compete with men.
Stay out of the way of those who can get the job
done.
