This is the classic pattern of empires in decline. Here is a happy thought for you... anybody care to ask how well paid the SOVIET troops were paid at the end?

Oh and there is more, you think the military will have lifers in a situation like that? NCOs make the backbone of the military... most are lifers.

Yep, we are starting that final circling down the drain as an empire.
