A Nation Protected

Our nation needs to get out of other nations business, we need to help ourselves reach a better quality of nation first and let individuals and private companies perform charity for other nations. We will assist other nations ONLY with a small handful of personal to instruct them on how to model their systems after our own but no financial defense or other help shall be given.

Because of such we will pull our armed forces out of every other nation completely, and instead we will return them all stateside and the defense budget will be spent for just that, defense, not offense, our budget will be spent entirely on increase our stateside defense from biological, chemical, nuclear and other threats. We will double or even triple our missile automated defense systems and increase our forces but will no longer spend funds on foreign intervention or enforcement.

Our armed forces will be split between 2 main groupings, active army and standing army. Active army personal receive a paycheck and put in full 8 hour+ days each day of the week but remain stateside. Standing army consists of every able bodied individual in the country. Details below.

Standing army Defense

Upon turning 18 years of age AND completing their entire K-12 Education a citizen will be required to become a member of the standing army. Each individual will take a pycological profile test, so long as they pass the test then they are required to join. They will immediately take 3 months of marine boot camp training, afterwards they will be issued a Military rifle and handgun and 1000 rounds of ammunition for both. They will be required to keep the rifle or handgun within 500 feet of them at all times, they will be required to maintain 100 rounds of ammunition for both their weapons in their homes at all times.

Every 3 months they will report for 2 days of training to keep their skills honed and up to date with the newest technology and knowledge. Every 4 years they will go back and take an additional psycological profile test and if passed they will continue in the standing army and immediately take another 3 more months of boot camp, helping to further their knowledge and expertise.

Standing army CANNOT be called on to fight any war or battle that IS not being fought within the countries borders. All standing army individuals may also refuse to leave to any battle that is not within 50 miles of their residence should they choose to.

Active armed forces will be paid according to their rank but the minimum salary is $36,000 per year and a maximum salary of $70,000 per year. Active army will be capped at .5% of the population or currently roughly 1.5 Million. Therefore it will be reduced from its current numbers. Active army is a job, and therefore a volunteer basis. Standing army is required and will not receive compensation.

Employers are required to be informed about when their employees will be leaving for training/boot camp and CANNOT fire or let go of any employee during or because of their training/boot camp.

Active army budget will be set at 105 Billion per year, This is spent solely on outfitting as well as salaries for active army.

Standing army budget will be set at 150 Billion per year, This budget is spent solely on training and outfitting the standing army. Active army is in charge of training the standing army.

The Military Defense budget will be set at $100 Billion per year. As mentioned before we are no longer going to step into other nations, therefore this money will be used purely to increase our defensive capabilities through whatever means that may be.
