Except the federal gov’t is much more than a monetary system, it’s a military system.

The military consists of people that need to be paid for their work. If they lose their ability to print, they won’t be able to sustain that military. The military has already degraded a lot in quality. Our weapons are not what they used to be.
Considering this thing is an admiral and they’re having difficulties recruiting because of it I’d agree with you.
Though, the military industrial complex has a way of recruiting soldiers and fighting forever wars regardless.
