I agree, but want to underline that the military is pretty efficient. You CAN get fired from the military if you screw up, and compared to the armed forces of other empires, the US armed forces do a pretty good job of kicking ass when there's ass to be kicked, and doing pretty good research (ARPANET, jet travel, Manhattan project).
- jshen 18y agoum, have you ever been in the military? I was in the army for 4 years, you can't really get fired. You have to do somethign way over the line to get kicked out. Out of many hundreds of people I knew only a handful got kicked out. The vast majority of those failed drug tests, usually twice. One guy got kicked out for sexually abusing a few women (sneaking into their rooms at night while they were sleeping and ...). And I think I knew one that got kicked out for being too fat (but I knew a lot of people that were too fat and never got kicked out. Now let's address this efficiency claim. Do you want to know what we did most of the time? Absolutely nothing. We hung out, did some cleaning, hung out some more, played some play station, hung out some more, took a nap. Yeah, that was my usual day. We can also attack this efficiency claim from another angle. The U.S. spends almost as much as every other nation combined for military purposes. No company that did such a thing would be considered efficient.
