The global image of the US Army needs to be more of this, less of “maximum lethality warfighters”. If we’re going to have global hegemony, we become responsible for doing good with that power.
I’d really love to see us actually become the “Kinder, gentler nation” that HW talked about. Bring back USAID, triple the budget, more cooperation with ESA and JAXA, cut the pentagon budget by about $200b, and send that to Medicaid and HHD.
