    It's a scam. Defense contractors and the military elites' careers, are all being subsidized by continuous wars. There was no "peace dividend" from downsizing troops in West Germany. We blew threw that saving, in the same year, that's to Reagan and Bush. And we've been jumping into one conflict after another. As if the US were the world's unpaid (or under-paid) police force. And even when there isn't a good enough reason to go to war, the US invents one. Like blaming the 9-11 attacks on all of Iraq.

    We need to do one of two things: 1) Get the flock out of there or, 2) Put the country on a war footing: fully mobilize, reinstitute the draft, rationing, war taxes and the like, and make a serious effort to win the flocking war.

    Obviously the vast majority of us don't want this war but it will be forced down out throats anyway. Just like Vietnam and Iraq, it is an illegal and unnecessary war that will see our children die just to put money into the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us against in 1953. Our government needs to be stopped. It no longer cares what America wants and is going to stuff the new global government down our throats and up our asses till we can't voice a complaint. But, alas, we are: A nation of sheep owned by pigs ruled by wolves. That's about the shape America is in today. There are no true patriots who would fight for their own freedom. We are all too busy eating the last of the grass.
