Vietnam was what caused the US to abandon the gold standard. There was no choice but to abandon it as the war was about to bankrupt the US.
I feel like something as contemporary as Ukraine speaks for itself. The UK has gone through about 3 heads of state in just as many months. Germany is unable to fuel its industry, inflation in the US at 10%.
As far as the militarization of space, the point speaks for itself. Here are two comparatively little things you couldn’t even do, yet you want to talk about something far more expensive and difficult to accomplish.
I shouldn’t even be responding to you since you didn’t give me anything to respond to. You just bullet-pointed what I previously said and ooga-booga’ed. You call me stupid, but at least I know how to speak in a manner as to convey intelligent meaning, which is more than you can say.
The wheels were really coming off the US military around 1970 and that was why US left Vietnam. They knew that in another year or two they’d have an all out mutiny on their hands, led by the same class of people who comprised the vanguard stateside.
And the guy who wrote it wasn’t fucking around. He wanted to get his point across as unambiguously as he could.
Alright…
Err…
3 points in a row missing the mark?
Keep some of your stupidity for your children. Don’t hog it all yourself.

On top of that, a report from a US Colonel in 1971 described the collapse of discipline in the US military as only being exceeded by the collapse of the Tsarist army in 1917. By the end of the war in Vietnam, 30% of US officer casualties were fratricide. Think of the level of solidarity there was among the rank and file that nobody in the platoon snitched when somebody put a bullet in the lieutenant’s back.
