Nobody here is prepared to do any of these things at the moment, except support the faction that represents u argue over who has the best team on an obscure online bulletin board.

@previous (C)
I didn't ask whether there's a point in doing anything; the original question was quite specific in its subject matter. If you genuinely wish to discuss the subject, begin by stating whether you think there is a point (or benefit) to arguing over national security on this particular board. Then explain the reasons for your answer.

No no no no no, DON'T separate the "that" and the "will". It's "That'll be all", not "That will be all".

You are only partially correct.

In this context, "that'll" is a contraction of "that shall", not "that will". "Shall" is a stronger auxiliary verb than "will". "Will" implies you're hoping it will be the case, but "shall" indicates certainty about the future.

Perhaps and perhaps not. However, all of that is irrelevant to the original question.

Well when you explained what you meant by defend, you listed multiple things that contradict themselves if they're all being defended against what is being defended? Your whole premise seems to be apathy because of lack of ability to change "anything"

What have you done to address the situation other than crying about it here?

Have you enlisted in the military?

Have you filled out applications to work for the border patrol?

Have you went and met with government officials to talk about these issues?

Crying and making shtick on an obscure board isn't going to get you anywhere, nor is it going to save America.
