Great article. What I'm wondering is: do all these other countries just do it better than the US, or have they not found out the problems yet?

This is a REALLY good question and one that came to mind while putting this together. I don't have a good answer at the moment but it's definitely a subject worth of a follow-up.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

They haven’t had any really new tech since Reagan, and they hated him. Reagan was at least as hated and vilified at the time as Trump, but he was able to push an enhanced Carter Defense budget through.

Try Palmer Luckey or some young DOGE type.
