    As a Vet and Defense Plant Retiree, talking to current Active Military our future seems lost. We are riding on a good pile of mil spec supplies but the clock is ticking and in a war it would be too little too late. DEI has destroyed our Military and Def Supply chain. It's been purposely destroyed. Pray for our nation.

    • @crosslink1493
      @crosslink1493 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      More emphasis on 'hi-tech' than hands-on basics. I've got a nephew nearing the end of his mechanical engineering program and he doesn't know squat about front-line stuff like machining &fabrication of metals, plastics, woods, or other materials. He's great with computers and CAD and math, but really lacking in actual front-line fabrication of stuff. Its what Mr. Forbes mentions in that 'lack of skills' that disappeared as the USA went to a service economy in the last 40 years.

    I am almost 80 I am retired from law I have two sons that are veterans. My whole family says that the United States is in the worst condition it’s ever been in especially my boys who served overseas. It is estimated that the Biden Harris administration has spent nearly $1 trillion by the end of this year on illegal immigration. If we had taken that money and put it into our defense system, it would be much more secure than it is now. I don’t know where the priorities are with his Biden administration but I will tell you one thing, they put our national security at risk. These Chinese have come over illegally into the United States do you think they’re here for their advancement and they’re making a better life, no I do believe wholeheartedly that they are a sleeper cell or so, ready to be activated at a moments notice. The Biden administration has put the American people into Dire Straits.

    Somewhat correct in my view from the Vietnam War forward. A lot of emphasis was put on hi-tech weapons expansion during the Cold War/Reagan years, including consolidation of manufacturers so they got bigger and bigger. That further contracted during the last 30 years (Repub and Dem administrations both guilty), which included basics like artillery pieces and shells. The Ukraine conflict has had the bonus of getting those newer systems out on an actual battlefield to see how they work under battlefield conditions and how fast you could train troops to use them. As for the Russian war machine you also have to look at the number of men they are conscripting with minimal training and that they are pulling some very old equipment out of 'mothballing' for quickie rehabs and then deployment with the new and reluctant recruits (not a good idea).

      Where is History going?
      Psalm 110.1
      Is there a pattern to history?
      Yes 🙌 🕊
      If you’re an enemy of Christ, you are on the wrong side of history
      You can either join Christ’s side or become His footstool
      His name is above all names
      This is the promise & the name which takes away all sins by repentance
      We’re not advocating Christians take up the sword to try to force God’s kingdom on the earth! This has been attempted & failed miserably in history
      But God is accomplishing this in His own special time & one day He will complete it
      * We are always making history
      Whether it’s Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, or Mao, God is at work making His enemies His footstool
      Even if they prosper for a while, they will be brought down unless they repent
      This includes all enemies of the Cross & there are seemingly millions in popular culture
      If you are one of them, you should consider your option
      If you’re sincere: repent & believe or become a footstool
      🌴🌴🌴 the Great secret to life is not to get but to give
      Like the widow of two mites 🌱🌱
      God is plowing your stubborn hearts
      This I know 🙌🙌🙌🙌🕊

    • @Tom-ym7bm
      @Tom-ym7bm หลายเดือนก่อน

      Believe it or not 💜🕊
      There are reportedly some 33,800 separate & distinct Christian denominations in the world today
      There are many Christian groups trying to reinvent the wheel, rather than pooling resources together & working together
      Thankfully we have had great role models like Billy Graham & many others who often do work together with other ministries for common good
      God always intervenes when we pray 🙏 Key 🔑 keep asking
      He knows our needs ! Better than we know ourselves !!
      If you have faith - like a mustard seed (.) look how tiny 🌳but it grows into a full & wonderful tree providing homes & shelter & more for the habitants of earth
      The world goes round 🌱🌱🌱🌱
