~The Flaws Behind Our Military: Pay and Supplies~

Day 390, 19:55 • Published in USA USA • by Benn Dover

How much USD do you have, citizens. $100? $1000? $10,000? Surely you are among the upper-upper class if you obtain the latter. Combined, our country has spent (only on supplies) nearing 70,000 USD in the past war. The dollar is around worth 0.015 gold, and gold is getting close to the value of 70 USD. This is the lowest our country has seen the value of the dollar, ever, and I have nobody to turn to blame but myself, along with the rest of us who could not see this coming from afar. See: Military Pay at the bottom.

Simply put, we need to re-work how supplies are given, how pay is distributed, and how our military reacts. Since it's on everybody's mind, I'll talk about that first.

Supplies, in general

Before getting into this, I would like to thank those of you who took the time to talk to me today privately about our current military status. Leroy Combs, William Shafer, Symrstar, Ben C, Joeph Cole, Armandez, and Gates Shellinger - thanks for the great input.

Our military consists of around 250 national guard soldiers (lowest strength), 500 armymen (middle strength), and around 50 marines (high strength). Now, it is obvious that we should not supply all of our troops with the same quality weapons. Ideally, Q1s would go to the National Guard, Q3s would go to our Army, and Q5s would go to our Marines. Of course, our weapons market is naturally weaker than that of other nations because we have fewer iron, so fewer weapons are a result. Q1s, Q2s, and Q3s should be distributed to the National Guard, Army, and Marines, respectively.

Ideally, citizens should be able to fight 5 times a day (1 fight = -10 wellness, +50 wellness from Florida = 0 wellness loss). This means that, every day, our country should be distributing 1250 Q1 weapons, 2500 Q2 weapons, and 250 Q3+ weapons. If we are to participate in four fights total, which we have, that is 15,000 weapons!

Throughout the war, we were very victorious. This is not because we were well-supplied, as many of you would argue, but because the strategy in Atlantis was great, with a multi-pronged attack in several battles. Of course, our victory ended when we not only ran out of supplies, but ran out of willing Atlantis participants. The war is not over yet, though.

In simple terms, this is the economic results of what has happened, hence the inflation:

More demand -> Increased prices -> Isolation in our markets (certain companies with more USD) -> More offers on the monetary market -> Inflation (a dollar worth less, not worthless).

If you have not read it yet, President of Sweden, Danny, has written an article about the flaws with the PEACE attack. Poitou, Auvergne, and Limousin were OUR regions, conquered in total fairness and divine strategy. I agree with Danny in his latest article, that the MPP activation is very unrealistic: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/admins-fix-the-bug-already-no-wonder-we-re-losing-ground--709172/1.

The US is, really, on track to lose because of the lack of MPP activation. A peace is being considered with the members of PEACE (no pun intended). America faces four countries versus one, as opposed to how we had divided up soldier force in previous victorious battles by bringing in other Atlantis nations. Ever since I realized that Canada's MPPs were not activated when France retalliated, I have been in fear of this day, when America lost the land that it rightfully conquered.

Admittedly, I knew that America was in for a beating today in the Battle of Limousin. I was going to write this article AFTER the loss, but defeat seems rather inevitable and many of you are begging for reasoning behind the lack of supplies and the military's latest actions.

Put two and two together:

More weapons = higher demand = inflation (significantly, on such a large level as supplying the entire US army)
Likely defeat

Why do the two not go together? Supplying troops for a useless fight is a BAD idea. Though we were not prepared for this battle, I thought that MPPs would definitely be activated upon a return-attack from PEACE. So, I guess my bad America. I did not know about this odd rule.

Military Pay

Almost all high military officials in the United States have been discussing the flaws of military pay ever since recent paychecks have come in. To put it simple - we need it removed. Soldiers should not be given pay for just clicking "here's my strength, thanks". Instead, I would love to see a reward system, sort of like that which Spain uses. Fueling our soldiers with thousands of USD, combined with giving them free weaponry/gifts, also combined with gifting them due to low wellness is simply unacceptable. A president cannot lead a society that lives by rules that doom a dysfunctional society. Too much USD fueled into our economy will lead to a much more devalued dollar.

I am under the impression that the economic leaders of Spain, e😜resident of Spain MVerslayer, and many other high figures in the eUS military such as William Shafer, Symrstar, Leroy Combs, etc, all believe the same thing as myself. Soldiers, expect a completely revamping of military pay.

I will continue negotiations with members of PEACE, but this war is far from over. All military officials, continue to be splendidly active.

Thanks for reading,
