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.
