Of course USians would turn to our military to save us lol. We've spent all this money on it, hyped them up to be the most important shit on earth, surely they'll save us? RIIIIGGGHT??!!?? :kitty-cri:
Just a few decades ago, they probably would. But their domestic capacity has also been neoliberalized so the jingoists can't even get this easy victory.
If militaries must exist, that's how I want them to be used. A labour army like the Civilian Conservation Corps which can do public works that aren't profitable for businesses. Everyone from Italy to China has been using them in some capacity for pandemic response and the USS Mercy/Comfort hospital ships are the only two things about the US military I'd make a defense for.
In terms of capacity though, the military that's 0-3 against farmers in the past half century couldn't achieve a damn thing. A black hole for money.
