My best friend was a wolf. We were together for 14 years. She walked the woods every evening and she taught me a lot. In the human world, I am a researcher and writer.
"Warfighting on our minds every single day."
It is true that one purpose of the military is to fight wars, kinetically, as they say. But there are other aspects, including the deterrence effect of having this military and the ability to respond to emergencies. 1/4

Just one example of how breaking the government can be the opposite of efficiency: Trump’s push to layoff half of the IRS workforce would cost the govt $350B over 10 years, as the revenue lost from unpaid taxes is about 9x the amount saved from layoffs.

"Firing *every single federal employee* would save a whopping 5 percent of the budget. But the point of this isn’t reducing the national debt. It’s striking fear into the federal workforce in order to make them more compliant."
