The New World USA Defense Budget

       In the bloated idea of a new world USA defense budget, I rest my case. We tend to make the best and most expensive solution, albeit in smaller and smaller numbers.

            Yet, in fairness, some of the research does pan out to our benefit, like our National Defense, like enhancing it.

            Now numbers count, too, like swarm theory ideas. But I also trust the geeks who work so hard to come up with ideas that they develop for our benefit. Last, I think I know about the abuse that goes on, like scientists and even engineers who milk the system for their Family's benefit, vice our National' benefit. Heck, they've got to make a living, too.

            Now the obvious, to me, example, is one of lining up 100 tanks against 100 shooters. Just how do we make sure we shoot at all 100 tanks, vice a lesser number, like all aim at one tank.

            That's the kind of idea from WWII that spawned the idea of operations analysis.  And it worked back then, and it can work today, if we want it to work to our benefit.

            So if times get hard, and they are already here, perhaps we can still have a pretty good National defense, perhaps even better than what we have today,  and on a smaller budget.

            Of course, only time will tell. And we will have to give up some defense stuff, too. But in the same vein, we can grow our own gardens, in WWII called Victory Gardens, that raised up to 40% of our vegetables. Yep, our fate is still in our hands.

            Especially time will tell how we sort things out, and most especially if we get into a real war, like people dying, airplanes going down, ships getting sunk, ground soldiers dying, etc. We new world USA people are a tough and savvy breed, by the way.

            Last, just what a shame it may happen, like a real big war, but that in the end is a voter and political decision to allow it; like let our present  politicians start it, and let our probably new politicians end it.
