Suppose the wars ended today

How are we going to employ all the out of work soldiers coming home? With our industrial base gone whats left for them to do? Dying under some bridge broke and homeless?

South Korea recently had a warship sunk(Probably by North Korea), and they are downplaying that? Why do you think that is? Its because they have an unemployment rate of 3.7%. They don't have enough unemployed workers to go to war. If they did they would.

War is off the table for them. Its not even under consideration. Their workers aren't interested in leaving their good paying industrial jobs to go get killed.

I had the same choice in 1973 after High School. I could have enlisted and be sent to Vietnam or I could go to work at the local Ford plant. Which one you think I took?
