Well expressed. Good points. The USA military and culture behind it are technological zombies. Every part of it has marginal negative utility. A huge amount of obsolete equipment, bases and peoples jobs that must be maintained. All require huge fuel consumption, bureaucracy, and meaningless daily ritual, in the name of conflict readiness. Good for nothing but maintaining profits for weapons and parts manufacture. Bad for the tens of millions of poor peoples, the growing casualties as political pawns in dirty proxy wars. In a real hot global war, the huge obsolete insupportable size is a major military and economic liability, just as it is now, in all its big bully wars, as amply documented. The USA machines are good at mass killings of poor and relatively defenceless, and destroying life for everyone. The domestic USA situation fully reflects the immoral character, corruption and weakness of its global bully pretend hegemony.
