I agree. There comes a point, you know?
Add to your list the fact that we have a multi trillion dollar national debt. When the US cannot borrow any more to run the country enough to maintain that stability, all bets are off.
People won’t sit back and passively starve, go without water, endure plagues that shouldn’t exist here any more, etc.
I think it’s also presumptuous to think the military is infallible.
