Ep 069 "The CG Mailbag: Question Time and the Backbenchers Lament"

It's been quite some time since I have responded to "mail" so I have curated five questions to address:.

1. What are your personal weapons of choice: rifle or pistol?
2. How do you fix the defense acquisition system?
3. Is the American military really in terminal collapse?
4. Storming America; is it still coming to the US?
5. Is America headed to civil war?

I'll offer some more recommendations and a path forward.
