[ParanoidTimes] Coronavirus Lays Low the Military



Excerpt:

Instead of an asset, America's overstuffed military is a growing liability. Rather than protecting the US, it's dragging it down along with every other country it comes in contact with. What's the point of an empire if its ultimate function is to undermine society all the more? When the Roman Empire was riven with plague from 165 to 180 A.D., it marked the end of the golden age and the beginning of what Edward Gibbon called the age of "rust and iron," a period of inflation, starvation, peasant uprisings, and ceaseless civil war. Is the US empire heading in the same direction?

Coronavirus Lays Low the Military

,
It's not the case for defensive purposes. If the United States were to come under attack, the Pentagon would throw everything it has at the problem from ground troops to advanced fighter jets. If "fighting sick" was the only option, then that's what it would have to do. Only after the smoke had cleared would it have time to tend to the sick, wounded, and dying, including those suffering from Covid-19.

But that's never happened in US history with the exception of Pearl Harbor and the War of 1812, so it's not what 95 percent of the US military is meant to do. Rather, it's built for force projection, the ability to hurl firepower outwards from Timbuktu to the Hindu Kush.

That war machine is what Covid-19 is now laying low even more surely than it is laying low the economy. It's doing so by insinuating itself into every last crack and crevice in military bases and onboard naval ships in which thousands of people work in close quarters that would make a civilian blush.
