    ^ Reminds me of the Chinese PLA until the end of the ’90s. Perhaps they’ll follow China’s example on how to spin these off. i.e. make some retired generals very rich through “privatisation”

    Fairpo, would you rather dump the soldiers on the unemployment line? Why not the Army Corps of Engineers & the SeaBees. Maybe they can make cars & planes & ships.

    Amazing the way people from other countries feel free to blame the US for any problem their people have. If the US were really as powerful as it is said to be, it could simply proclaim world peace and put everyone to work making appliances and gem-studded rocket launchers.
