    privatize military healthcare, cut back on disability and pensions

    The military is already having major recruitment issues, if they do this recruitment might actually drop to zero.

    Critical support.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if half the reason we don’t have higher-ed reform is because of that. If college were free or even affordable, nearly nobody would go to the military.

      Hell part of why we got so entrenched in Vietnam was because our economy couldn’t find room for all the grownup boomer kids. So just institute a draft and send them off to the jungle to die instead.
