The US
#army needed to end. In the 250 years of its existence, its only been the good guys for like 25 years. The rest of the time it was used for invasion and occupation for
#corporate interests and gain and to slaughter
#natives . 25% of the military budget is for the army and the other branches actually protect us, the army is just there as a temptation for the president to use. The
#Navy and national guard are directly called for in the constitution while a standing army is strongly spoken out against by the founders.
There is no reasonable way that the US could ever be invaded from the outside by force, only through information wars and then self-implode into civil war.
We should fold the members of the army into the other branches ending our recruitment issues, replace contractors and army bases with tech, education, health and research hubs, and then sell off more of our army hardware to Europe where they CAN actually be invaded, but have been relying on us for too many decades. That 25% of the military budget could do so many things, include some reparations to the natives that army used to murder their ancestors and steal their land.
