I like you - but you can't be serious: when the stuff really hits the fan and the only tool that will work in your kitbag is the armored power of the US Army, you'd have to re-think your response.
Seriously? Where would we have been with the army at Normandy and the drive through France and into Nazi Germany. How could we possibly defeat North Korea or the Russians or China or Iran if we had to without the army?
Navy's wonderful but they can't get very far inland.

Listen to me. I have thought this out. The Army has two real missions, secure our frontiers and to fight wars. It has third mission which is to harass the general population in a martial law capacity - that is the danger. Well, the "wars" we fight are globalist adventures and the Army will not deign to defend our borders.
A strong navy is must. If you want a forward deplorable infantry then the marines are there.
The standing Army is useless and dangerous and can be turned inward. Standing Armies basically suck.
