The draft was gladly let go because it had the unfortunate side effect of people in general giving a fuck about what the military is doing, especially if it involved body bags.
So then the industrial military complex becomes, the military-industrial-political complex. Political, because not having draft might relieve one problem but creates others. No, the military-industrial complex must be careful the society provides enough volunteers. And not some cannon fodder. Our best. They will create more and more weapons; cannon fodder just creates sad Russian families.
So, the Military-Industrial-Political complex, at our end of the equation, just involves being straight on how the 7th Fleet works, and why it is God on Earth if you are in its range. And so forth.
People rag on this, but let me ask you something.
If I'm right, is this a bad deal? I'm not the one pushing up sunflowers. It's pretty posh not being a Russian moron, patsy, or dependent right now, no?
80 year old buzzsaw. why did Putin walk right into it?
Hmmm...
