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.
