Training up militaries is generally a selfish goal for the trainers. It's far better to train a military which can uphold the law and deal with any rogue groups than have another Somalia.

Given that the Majority of War Colleges were formed in order to deterimine how a Military was conduct it self upon a Battle Field i don't Understand Your reasoning.

We send the to a foreign War College and then they return and form another within the Land?

Who says the Gurkha rifles are the best units in the British Army?

I'd like to see them out-jump the Paras, out tank the RTR, out shoot the Gunners, out drive the Loggies, out signal the Signals, out Infantry 3 Commando Brigade and out fly the AAC.

So, what you are saying is we should throw out realism and say "British accepted to give us everything because that fits out story"... I think we should go for something more realistic here.

The British are one of the more honorable nations. Now Americans really would want something in return! If we had any that is, if we don't i doubt they would help us.

Our own college founded on what training manuals? We need help to set up the training program and who better to help with that than sandhurst. Once its set up we can make changes where we see fit later.

Like hire totally loyal retired generals off the completely existent Camo Pages to build up our military which they totally won't use to perform a coup ousting us from power?

Yup, totally realistic.

That is realistic. Its what happened in the 53 former colonies of the Empire. That is one quarter of the worlds sovereign nation states, One can't get more realistic than that.

They are troops who are the most all round unit in British army, they are the most brave and skilled ones as evidenced by incident when one Gurkha repelled attack by thirty or so Talibans in Afghanistan (or something like that).

Yes, however that does not require giving specialised training. Of course, British would give us basic level training for free but why would they send their elite troops to train troops of non-allied nation for free?

No, they are loyal because of money and they will stay till we pay them healthy money. They will have partial idea of our army but not the whole picture.

Since I'm a Republican inclined to answer such, pretty much we could advocate taxation since this is the only revenue of the government to shoulder its expenses for the people to make use of. If the government is honest and just, such system is prevalently stable to be implied. If not, it can endanger the balance of a nation because corruption is everywhere. Taxation is the state's expense foundation. No tax, no projects for the people, no government.


I disagree with your latter statements. But that;s not the point.


I think that the Objectivists can set up Galt's Gulch as an HQ, for recruitment. And we have ten people who are willing, they just didn't put up apps and were confused when I recruited them.

40 men who are loyal to money. What is worst damage they can do? May be burn down the training facility before being shot.

"If this is about money, then I can support everybody here on that!" The young King laughed, "Heck - I could support many armies many, MANY times over if that's the case! My own private funds can do that!" He drank quite a bit from his soda - filled glass after that.

"Delta Force was formed after numerous, well-publicized terrorist incidents in the 1970s. These incidents led the U.S. government to develop a full-time counter-terrorism unit. Key military and government figures had already been briefed on a model for this type of unit in the early 1960s. Charlie Beckwith, a Special Forces officer and Vietnam veteran, had served as an exchange officer with the British Army's Special Air Service (22 SAS Regiment) during the Malayan Emergency. Upon his return, Beckwith presented a detailed report highlighting the U.S. Army's vulnerability in not having an SAS-type unit" The formation of delta force is just one of many examples.

Somebody comes along with more money and buys them so they sell information.

EDIT: When an individual is only there for the money there is only one thing that can be guarantied. That is that they will be open to a bigger offer from somebody else. They can do plenty of damage.
