There are times when we must be a country, not 50 states. Imagine fighting WWII like this, each state deciding who to draft, train, etc. My take has been that many did not want to take charge, but also did not want to give power to others to do so. You want the job, take the responsibility or get out of the way.
The real danger is that someone will take from all this that the US is a paper tiger and do something stupid, how wars get started.
Completely agree.
