2. All of us need to go to D.C. as often as it takes to make this happen.
All candidates in 2012 should be vetted for ending the Wars and the results posted absolutely everywhere.

5. How many years have we said that my friend?
It could solve so many things

I say 'fuck' the gays in the military myself.

WoW....... you want to know why?

Because any gay serving that system is fooling themselves.
and serving the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.


Tell me?

What does the Military Protect on this Planet?

12. I understand an anti-military proclivity, but I also know that the basis upon which I claim
that right to be against War, because it IS my personal right, morally and in all other regards to make that determination, MUST yield that same right to free determination to those who make it fully informed, honestly, and, hence, FREE, (3 BIG criteria there), though differently from mine, themselves.

I wish it were otherwise; I wish I could just deliver absolutes, but I KNOW I cannot, so I have to let others do their best in that regard too, as long as it is as fully informed as possible, honest, and, hence, as FREE a determination of one's best approximation of the "truth" as possible under the given set of circumstances.

Those are pretty high standards, though, don't you think: Best, Fully Informed, Honest, Free, Truth . . . perhaps a commitment to that effort, and its attendant responsible accountability, will get us at least close to what we very obviously NEED.

13. And, YES, I cannot understand GLBT desire to serve that which absolutely hates them.
Though I also have to admit their FREE right (if it is such) to choose.

Right or wrong, so be it.

4. The elite want our money, what little we have of it. If not this war, then another war. PNAC rules.

7. The Empire according to the Consul of Obama


Needs Time.... As does His Senate.

But it is still Roman in its thinkning
and not Greek.


Hannibal needs to at least try.

8. One of the side-effects of a volunteer military
Unfortunately, I think one of the side-effects of an all-volunteer military is that most people don't care about war anymore.

I saw a note on a dry-erase board in a photo of some base overseas. It said, "The United States Marines are at war. America is at the mall."

It's true.

If people from all walks of life were being randomly cut down by these imperialistic wars, there would be outrage, like there was over Vietnam. But now, the people who volunteer for it are all for it, and the people who don't volunteer are largely unaffected by it.

I'm not a big fan of compulsory military service, but maybe we'd fight less wars if everyone had their lives at stake over it.

10. I was drafted and I think the its what the Founder's wanted
The complaint by draftees ended the Vietnam War.


This so called Volunteer Army was a way they could go to wars
while people no longer had jobs.

9. I've written it before...
When 5% of the world's population finds itself doing 50% of the world's military spending, they should be taking a very close look at their people skills.

Do we spend that much because we have enemies, or because we are the enemy?
