The author of the piece screen-shotted below is a U.S. army officer.
I would contend that an officer planning for a 'post-liberal' military has betrayed their oath to "support and defend the Constitution," perjuring themselves before God and men and is as a result, unfit to serve.

The difference between a soldier and a warrior is war crimes.

I don’t think it’s that they want it destroyed as much as they just want the money going to F-35’s and 155 mm shells redirected to their VC companies grifting AI and Drones
Trump may be damaging the U.S arms industry right now. But we should consider that they may not just be stupid, but deliberate. I've listened to a few of the podcast episodes with the Trump capo David Sachs and Peter Thiel. These people have contempt for the U.S arms industry and want it destroyed.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.
