For John, BLUF: No standing Army would save money in the short run, but leave us vulnerable in the long run. It is hard to predict when some nation or coalition will decide war is better than peace. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From The Daily Wire, by Mr Ryan Saavedra, 23 January 2020.
Here is the lede plus one:
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden made a series of troubling remarks this week about U.S. national security matters, stating that the U.S. does not need a standing military and that the U.S. should be focusing on helping communist China.I would like to know what he is proposing to replace our current standing Army. A bigger Navy and Air Force? Nothing, since there is no real threat?“We talk about China as our competitor? We should be helping, and benefiting ourselves by doing that,” Biden said during a campaign event in Iowa. “But the idea that China is going to eat our lunch, it was like I remembered debates in the late 90s, remember Japan was going to own us? Give me a break.”
