The traditional soldier is being driven out.
Spirited: You are right. Our increasingly ‘liberalized’ military has been losing its’ traditional officers for years now and the current program is to rid it of traditional soldiers.
The conscienceless ruling elite are building a military and police force of demoralized, disloyal “yes-men” who if told to fire upon Americans will do so. As evidence of their success: Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the jack-booted seizure and forced return of an immigrant Cuban boy to communist Cuba a few years ago.
Yes, indeed. Nobody but the dealer can stack the deck. The govt will decide what sort of people comprise the paramilitary monstrosity that Obama promised to muster, that will be the domestic counterpart to our military forces. (Personally, I think a few thousand more IRS agents will be quite sufficient — given the rate at which Americans currently surrender their liberty.)
