I was having this discussion with my dad over the holidays. A simple test for this is to ask about the counter factual. If all else were the same and there were no troops in Korea, should we invade Korea to set up shop? Japan? Germany? Italy?

The next is to present the logical conclusion of their beliefs. Do you think we should go to war with Russia, a war that would decimate a generation of Americans, to protect Donbas?

Let’s not forget the disdain these elites have for the soldiers they’d like to send to die.

The Army and Marine Corps haven’t been able to crush a bunch of bomb making cavemen after trying for almost 20 years.

The US Air Force hasn’t gone toe to toe with a serious challenger since 1972.

The US Navy has not had to fight a naval battle in 77 years.

For decades the American armed forces have promoted incompetents while forcing out proven leaders for conduct offenses that are often as minor as an old video of them telling an off color joke.
