When Will You Say 'Enough is Enough?' | Philip A. Farruggio
Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust
Oct. 26, 2013
You dont have to search the internet for the truth. Sometimes it is right in front of you inside the mainstream newspapers:
-- The Friday, Oct. 18 USA Today main section, page 4A ran this story: Army warns of trouble handling even a single war. It goes on to say that budget restrictions could render the Army at high risk to meet even one major war, a warning the Army is sounding because it sees another war as inevitable before long. Did you catch that last part? The masters of this Military Industrial Empire are not only doing their best to scare the shit out of us with "declining budget cuts putting our Army at risk," but they are sounding the alarm that we are going to get another war sooner than not! They further tell us that plans to reduce the number of active duty soldiers from a wartime high of 570,000 to 450,000 (as planned by 2017) is "too small and too risky." Now this is not from some comic book story. No, this is really being hyped up to get YOU out there on board with the propaganda to NOT cut our bloated and obscene military spending (close to 600 billion of yours and mine hard earned dollars). Question is: are you going to sit back and let this happen?

OP
When our enlisted men and women lay down their arms and refuse to fight these wars for corporations it will end.
When the workers of the USA call a nationwide strike.
Neither of these things will happen.
Why a parent would encourage their child to join the military, after having all the information that is now available, is beyond my understanding.
Your children are not protecting this country, or the rights of citizens.
They are protecting the interests of the 1%.

since a small but growing number of military analyists have been making the case of eliminating the U.S. Army altogether and letting the Marines do all the 'army' tasks...
