Where did this come from? I prefer a military in a state of readiness to a military ignoring a national condition.
On occasion, Carl, Old Glory may be seen as a little inconvenient, but never is she in the way.
If some would rather wander around with their head in the clouds during national emergencies, that's fine too. There are plenty of good people in this land willing to take up their slack.
