edit - I wonder just how capable a fighting force we have and whether or not those of the age to serve are actually up to the fight. Time will tell. The country has been vilifying the military as part of the far-left agenda. Young people are highly discouraged from serving in our far left schools and universities. In a WWIII situation we cannot win without the younger generation joining the fight and since we can see much of the younger generation has sided with terrorists its harder to predict.
Did you see the size of the mass of Palestinian supporters in Copley Square around the Boston Public Library the other day? There were no corresponding Israel supporters.

I was really taken by surprise. I had no feel for that previously

Boston is the college town of the world
I saw drone footage of the Copley event or maybe the WBZ copter. Just look at what Harvard has become. Many of the ivy league schools have had unfortunate events causing big donors to walk away. These damn kids haven't a clue!
