Weakened US Unable To Fight More Wars

While America talks going to war in Europe, those who follow the real condition of America's military forces, active duty, reserve and veterans, they know it to be nothing but empty talk.  Over a dozen years of war has left America's military manpower exhausted, physically, mentally and "politically."

Any new war will have to be fought without experienced non-commissioned officers or top special operations professionals.  Studies now show that they haven't simply given up on military service, but that an entire generation of American military is dead, dying or disabled.

War Hoax

Fewer Americans are willing to believe, willing to blindly follow, willing to die for what more and more now clearly see as wars for Wall Street.

Perhaps the most carefully hidden impact on America's ability to wage war is the epidemic of military/veteran suicides, numbers far more than anyone imagined.  Current suicide numbers actually exceed the total combat deaths from both the Vietnam and Korean wars.

Current "Epic Failure"

There is a reason that American troop deployments into Poland and Latvia are so pitiful, despite the fact that nearly all US troops are out of the Middle East.  America's "war games" deployment meant to intimidate Putin's Russia accentuates a frightening fact few are aware of.  America's trained military "inventory" is nearly totally depleted.

They aren't just "quit" or retired, in truth, America has had well over 100,000 combat related deaths tied to  Desert Storm and the Global War on Terror that it has failed to report.  Some, well over 10,000, are from mysterious "Gulf War Syndrome," reputed to be a "cocktail" of radiation and chemical exposure along with experimental vaccines.
