| If you were your own country, how would you design your military? What weapons and vehicles would it have. How many soldiers would you have? How would you recruit? What training would you offer? Lets say you have unlimited money and everything else in your country is good. Just focus on the military. Before you post, please think it through and do some research.

| All of my mind are equipped with Bizarro Guitars, are somewhat-intelligent zombies (No chance of rebellion!) who have 9 inches of solid Neutron Star Duct taped to them, and mad Gung Fu Skillz. Shall I elaborate? The Bizarro Guitars, which they are masters of, allow the projection of sound waves so high frequency they are capable of shattering reality; space, and time, in infinite lengths and to anyone who isn't wearing special ear muffs. In this torn piece of the Time-Space Continuum, people will either die from the energy pouring out of fall through the rip, it is a place where 2+2=, Fish are weapons, and you can't walk for various reasons. No color, no floor, no black, no white. If the lose their reality-shaking guitars, the zombies have their Gung Fu Skillz, which are powerful enough that they have the capability to punch of kick and send the force through the air, and land on a target, generally arriving with a force of 20,000 lbs.

| The only thing I would need is one helluva lot of nuclear powered nuclear/cruise missile submarines, maybe with some hunter killers as well. Everything else would only be needed if I wanted to invade something, which I wouldn't.

| My Army is already outfitted to operate in such a enviroment. You will notice I specified amphibious capabilities on many of the vehicles and a tank in the 40 ton range for lighter weight and aircraft required to operate in unprepared conditions. I want my recon/scout elements to keep going and withdraw with no problems if under fire. None of this pull up to a river bank and take 20 min to erect floatation gear bullshit. Drive in and drive out
