There’s no draft.
My daddy, a veteran of 25 years in the Marine Corps, taught me that volunteers get what they asked for. He ought to know.
Any young person joining the military now HAS to understand they’re going to fight for the Big Money, not “freedom.”
That’s cold, but it’s reality.
There will be no “civil war” as long as television is filled with sports Sports SPORTS!!!!
Mandatory military service would go a long way toward enlightening the electorate. Which is one reason we’ll never see it.
I believe we are going to see what would have happened to the U.S. if Jimmy Carter was reelected. THEY SHOULD HAVE WATCHED 2016!!
After these results, we should bring ALL our boys and girls home. Their votes matter more than any “conservative” that stayed home and let 0 et al. have at least 2 more years to screw this country. Let the euros pay for their own defense!
Red China's Communist Party finally admitted that it's going to take a wee bit longer to overtake the U.S. and be Number One.
After 164 successive weeks of promising that it would be next Tuesday afternoon (about tea time) Red China and Her devoted American corporate followers today put the date as much as four years in the future.
Western corporations are urged in the meantime to keep on trucklin' and keep on keepin' on sending that technology, intellectual property, and FDI to Red China -- Red China's 1.4 billion upper-class income and upper-middle-class income citizens all await the day when they can purchase trillions of dollars of Western goods, said a Red China Communist Party Central Committee spokesman.
It would certainly save some money.
I remember my trip to Beijing late 2010 ...I was not expecting that. Shanghai is even more advanced in terms of infrastructure. Interesting as well is the fact that many of the people are really capitalistic ...it is just the government that is communist, and even then it appears more and more that they are communist in name only.
