As the son of a VMI grad who spent 1955-62 flying F84,86,100 and 101s and myself being raised around 182s to King Airs as dad went thru civilian birds
I applaud your post
I honestly believe that many young people in our society get most of their “grounding in reality” about war from watching movies and TV shows like Star Trek, G.I. Jane, The Matrix, Crouching Tiger, etc. After watching 110# girls karate kick 300# bikers into unconsciousness a few hundred times, fantasy replaces reality. It’s a Hollywood brainwash.
I dread what is coming to our military and our nation the next time we are forced to fight a major war not on our terms, that is, with Predator drones, laser- and GPS-guided missiles, total air superiority at all times, etc.
Sooner or later, we’re going to find ourselves in a situation like Korea, 1950. Shocked, unprepared, and unready. With an enemy nearly as well equipped as we are. An enemy that will not be using bugles and flares for commo, as they did in 1950.
But like in 1950, it might be an enemy that does not care about losing thousands of troops per day for as long as it takes to prevail, since they have 50 million “excess” males anyway, and their masters would like to cull that number down.
Our PC military of sold-out perfumed prince generals, simpering queers and 110# girls is going to be in for one hell of a surprise, when it turns out that real war does not resemble Star Trek or G.I. Jane. Just imagine how many delustional skydancers there are out there.
I am grateful for your comment.
Thank you.
