Trip.

I agree to putting infrastructure in front of the military. If we build too much military at the expense of infrastructure, then before too long we'll be stuck with a bunch of outdated units which we do not have the infrastructure to support properly, and which also can not be upgraded because we have neither the technology nor the wealth required to do so...

That said, I also believe in a strong military. However, I believe that if we have the infrastructure, we can always build the units when they're needed. So, in the early stages of the game, we need a few military units to explore and expand our territory and a few more to guard our infrastructure. Major task forces capable of conducting large scale offensive operations comes later on. (When we have the infrastructure to support them.)

Not good enough.

First of all, they're not as good at building infrastructure as we should be.
Second, much of their infrastructure would be destroyed by the fighting.

We'd risk being left with a whole lot of rubble and very little else, which is not a good way to build a strong empire.

Very similar to my views.
I have to admit I like war, but I'm not going to drive the country into the ground to suck the life out of the Germans one more time.

Perhaps later.

For now I'll support Trip.
