What's the point of having a military these days anyway?

Isn't the point of the military to keep people out of your country?

LOL

The military is just stupid. Who exactly is going to march into every town in America? It's way too fucking big for that... If we're so dependent on a governmental hierarchy -- it's time to wean the babies from the big motherfucking tit... There's going to need to be some restructuring eventually because our "founding fathers" could never predict advancements in transportation and technology...

Any engineer/designer knows that a hierarchical system is inefficient, counterproductive and vulnerable... that's exactly what we're living in. Seems like we have the technology and resources to dissolve this association between the "USA" and the "Military" -- we already know that you get what you pay for... Let the US military represent itself for what it is -- a mercenary army... If you've got something of value, you'll need protection -- it's simple. That's the way the world works anyway and we can all agree on that -- so why all the flags and patriotic bullshit...

Behind the US Government, Walmart is the #2 employer in the USA -- in a sense, Walmart is like a country within a country... What if Walmart decides to rent out apartments near the stores? I think I heard Disney is doing this sort of thing already and it's really popular... Maybe this type of thinking and the world's fascination with pop culture will put an end to patriotism... I'd venture to say patriotism will die off and pop-culture will take over due to advances in communication... without communication you could be scared as a nation into thinking there was some invisible enemy out to get you -- but now even know when a hurricane is coming a week in advance LOL...
