Not saying it can't be done, but there are some serious hurdles to overcome along the way.

yup, very true. we had an idea for a navy national guard type organization that would provide the bodies if another global war was to come about. Heck the idea of shore bound support crew, and other personnel coming from retirees and navy vets sine they (and other branches retirees and vets) are a resource pool that would be extremely valuable and should be used when the time does come... and the government plans on using them, it's why Defense Department Employees & Vets are not bound by the crazy rules and regs that FEMA has for the way they will do things during the martial law during national emergencies such as WWIII would bring about.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
