Default Vietnam.

In early August 1964, two U.S. destroyers stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam radioed that they had been fired upon by North Vietnamese forces. In response to these reported incidents, President Lyndon B. Johnson requested permission from the U.S. Congress to increase the U.S. military presence in Indochina. And thus, the Vietnam War began.

Monday Nov. 11, 2024: The destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Spruance came under fire as they were transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategic maritime choke point between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Will Trump bring back the draft?

And what else does the future hold?

The appointees to cabinet positions is telling, with Sec. Def. being a loud critic of our support of The Ukraine in the Russian invasion.

There are reasons to be wary...and also reasons to be prepared, and one of the best preparations any of us can make is to shore up our resources, increase our disposable income, and keep income flowing in.

In 15 days, I'll tell you how.
