Remember back in the '80s when it was revealed that military was spending like $600 a piece on toilet seats or like $7,000 for a coffee brewer?
They showed where that money really went in the movie Independence Day. 😆👽🛸

liberal discussion playbook.

1. claim subject does not exist.

2. when shown proof of said subject, reverse course and say it does exist and is a good thing.

3. repeat first two steps ad nauseam.

that's because as usual you miss the point. They spend billions and billions on this technology and you think they are doing that to help someone who is blind to see.

They pump these dollars into these things for money or power. Any military person can understand that having your brain hooked up wirelessly to a supercomputer that can instantly give you all the battlefield intelligence you need for your mission would be a huge advantage.

I can make a great sales pitch for why the mark of the beast would be such a great help to society, but it also gives absolute power to those who run it and we know that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Google voice to type is butchering my words again. I don't automatically assume that scientific discoveries are going to be used for evil.
Also if you don't want a microchip in your brain, don't get one... taadaaah problem solved

You mean like if you don't want to get some experimental vaccine in your arm don't get one?

The problem is that the sales pitch will be irresistible. Fail HS? No problem you will be smarter than every Phd. You want to be a super soldier? No problem. How would you like to be a super hero? No problem.

You don't want the chip? No problem, pack your bags and get out of the military.

Then we just wouldn't have a military because people aren't going to give up their bodily autonomy like that
And if the government tried to force it on soldier that would be a revolt

No biggy, offer citizenship to illegal immigrants if they serve in the military. We have had over 5 million enter this year.

I have heard that her return among people who watch the WNBA is a very big deal, though to be fair, I have never actually met someone who watches the WNBA.
I have no doubt some people do not view military personnel, especially heroes, as important to civilians with status and clout.

I am not one of those people.

If they are willing to serve, they deserve citizenship

Not just that but they will also get two shots, a couple of boosters and a chip implanted in their brain.
