- Buried in the second to last paragraph of a 600 word
Reuters news article about the dismal situation faced by the Pentagon in
luring new "recruits" into becoming "volunteer" bullet-stoppers
for the floundering empire is the following: "The Iraq war represents
the first test of the all-volunteer military in a protracted war. Some
defense analysts have argued the United States may have to consider reviving
the draft, abolished in 1973 during the tumult of the Vietnam War"
(emphasis added).
-
- It's curious how these so-called "defense analysts"
never seem to analyze the obviously bankrupt reason the United States is
involved in a "protracted war" (that is not a war but an occupation
and resistance to occupation): because a clique of warmongering Strausscons,
who have had it out for Iraq for some time (and have it out for other Arab
and Muslim nations and make no bones about wanting to invade them), were
allowed to hijack the presidency held by a man who should have never been
president and was in fact not democratically elected and is not mentally
or emotionally suited for the task (a man that specialized in running businesses
into the ground). Instead of stating the obvious-the invasion and occupation
are illegal and immoral and the occupation and hostilities against Iraqis
need to be ended immediately-so-called analysts, government officials,
newspaper editors and writers, foreign policy "experts," and
others say nothing or say conscription (slavery) may be necessary since
the only option is to "stay the course," that is continue to
commit war crimes and crimes against humanity and rival the horrific record
of the Nazis for aggression and sheer terror. In Bushzarro world, even
so called "liberal" Democrats are Nazi-like co-conspirators in
mass murder and war crimes.
-
- Since the Strausscons are emboldened by an almost complete
lack of opposition to the occupation and the daily slaughter of innocent
Iraqis, and the above mentioned analysts and policymakers and other influential
people are not advising against continuing the occupation (let alone expressing
moral outrage), conscription is almost a certainty.
-
- It is up to the cell phone generation (as I derogatorily
call the current crop of 20-somethings, mostly because they are immersed
in mindless consumerism and oblivious to urgent political realities and
the very real possibility they will be conscripted and sent to die in Iraq
or Iran and if not die there come back to the United States and die from
"Gulf War Syndrome II" or the effects of nuclear warfare-and
the use of depleted uranium is certainly nuclear warfare). It is time for
them to get off their asses and tell Bush and his dour cabal of warmongers
(and chicken hawks) to put it where the sun don't shine. Or as we mused
rhetorically in the 60s: what if they gave a war and nobody came? If the
cell phone generation refuses to participate, the Pentagon and the Strausscons
will be unable to run their murderous bombing runs, invasions, and occupations.
-
- It is now obvious the Strausscon war machine is reaching
its limits and will break soon without a fresh influx of human cannon fodder.
If there is a hope it is in the fact the world's most powerful military
is pinned down in an Arab country ravaged by more than a decade of medieval
sanctions and two "wars" (invasions). Repeating this mistake
in Iran would be sheer insanity but then the Strausscons are criminally
insane and completely certain of the righteousness of their master plan
to eviscerate Islam and the Arab Middle East, as dictated by a small number
of far right-wing fanatics in Israel (and supported by more than a few
corporations such as Lockheed Martin and Halliburton, who are carpet-baggers
looking for a macabre buck).
-
- Human nature will eventually overwhelm the Strausscons-millions
of 20-somethings will resist bullet-stopper slavery (for self-preservation
is an intractable human trait), that is unless they can devise something
more horrific and stunning than nine eleven and thus convince the cell
phone generation their sacrifice is required, as a former generation was
more or less convinced their sacrifice was required in World War II, even
though we now know that war could have been prevented if a gaggle of rich
people (such as Prescott Bush, Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, and
other industrialists and bankers) had not danced the fandango with Hitler
and the Nazis.
-
- I am crossing my fingers the cell phone generation will
do the right thing because I am too old and will not be drafted and the
only viable action that will shut down the military machine is if soldiers
mutiny or don't show up in the first place. It will be more difficult this
time around (more difficult than it was in the 60s and 70s) because the
Strausscons are shrewd and will do all they can to trick the cell phone
generation into surrendering their lives through illusion, fear tactics,
and trickery. It is also in the process of erecting an awesome snoop infrastructure
of truly Orwellian proportions.
