   Calling all brain donors…. ENLIST! ENLIST!

   Would it have mattered?

   He ENLISTED. Nobody drafted him.

   Given how mind-numbed most 18-25 year old men are due to 12+ years of feminized government skewl indoctrination, they would in too many cases neither believe nor understand WHY, even if you truthfully told them.

   The X-files mentality, the Hollywood mindset that reduces the US presence in Afghanistan to just a secret plot of Big-Oil-Arms-Dealers-etc-et-al, may sound good to young, impressionable minds… but it makes eyes roll ceilingward in the heads of middle-aged non-feminized men who understand the ways of the world, and of human nature, and of international politics.

   We could pull every US troop out of every place on Earth outside America. We could then watch North Korea gobble up South Korea, Russia reform the old Soviet Union from Eastern Europe, and China grab both Taiwan and the Phillipines as appetizers. We could then sit idly by as basically the entire world’s armies steadily drew closer towards both Europe and America, eager to seize control of the vast amounts of untapped natural resources which our tree-huggers keep carefully preserved for their future usage…

   War is as old as fallen Man. So long as men choose to remain Fallen (and most do), war will continue to exist. Unconditional surrender to evil, which is what the entire Better Red Than Dead mentality of the Left leads to, is not an option which sane, liberty-loving men would willingly choose…. though admittedly such men are extremely rare in the West today (and growing scarcer with each passing year), nearly rendered extinct by the Feminist brainwashing everyone is inculcated with in government schools…

   Liberty-loving men see past the whole world, Scott, regardless if it is peace or chaos. Your time here is an opportunity to not identify with it, or be affected by it any more. As long as we continually react to events, we are sleep walking. Wisdom… maturity… is when you consciously don’t have the desire to react anymore.

   Scott writes a continual flow of buzzwords like “feminized” like a satire of a right-wing rhetoric which certainly makes my eyes roll ceilingward…

   I am beginning to think Scott is trying to do a parody of someone like the character Rorschach from Alan Moore’s “Watchmen”. Quoting from page 1 of “Watchmen”:

   …

   The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.

   The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”…

   …and I’ll look down, and whisper “No.”

   They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father, or President Truman.

   Decent men, who believed in a day’s work for a day’s pay.

   Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn’t realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late.

   Don’t tell me they didn’t have a choice.

   Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody hell, all those liberals and intellectuals and smooth-talkers…

   Asking questions is treasonous. Besides, we have always been at war with Asiatica. Or something.

   Hell, it beats flipping burgers and watching reality TV.

   And there’s no need to worry about funeral expenses.

   For those of you bitching about the military and those of us who follow orders as we are told………
   if you do not want to enlist don’t, if you do then do not complain when your sent to a war zone. I did my time and if you did not then why, that silver spoon stuck up your a$$ cause you to not pass the medical?

   Goulo: I know the first refuge of every “liberal” is to reach straight into the Saul Alinsky bag of tricks and snatch out a tattered, dog-eared copy of “Rules for Radicals”, and begin to employ RIDICULE, but…. it gets old after 50+ years, dontcha see.

   Do you deny War is as old as fallen Man? Can you show me where in the History books Man has ever lived together WITHOUT fighting his neighbors? Even if a few groupings or nations got along for a while, eventually foreign invaders showed up and ruined everything…

   It has only been very recently, since the creation of the American Republic, that a few other nations have sloppily, in an inferior fashion, copied our system of government–typically calling their versions “Democracies”–and have ceased to go to war with each other.

   But our founders were rightly contemptuous of Democracies, calling them “mob rule”, and pointing out that they basically equated into two wolves and a chicken voting on what’s for lunch.

   The term “democracy” is too carelessly thrown about now, to where even nations like India which are most assuredly NOT democratic (their chaste system is still alive and well, as well as their utterly bizzarro-world Hindu religion), get labeled as such.

   Point being, we nonethless do live in an era in which we can truthfully say that “Democracies do not go to war with each other.”

   Then we have Barack Hussein Obama, the laughable winner of a Nobel Peace Prize, whose own words make it clear that where nation-states are concerned, he is a geopolitical sociopath. He has publicly stated to the world that the era MUST end where “one system of government is thought to be superior to that of another”. He has further elaborated that it is morally wrong for any nation to wish ti “impose’ their system of government onto “any other nation.”

   In short, Barack Hussein Obama (MMM!! MMM!! MMM!, keep repeating that kiddies until your eyes bleed) has made it clear that the United Nations Plaza should be bulldozed into the ground, all diplomatics called back home, and everyone should just start cranking up their military spending and wait for all Hell to break loose.

   If you fail to see why I am saying this, congratulations on being a typical government-school student, incapable of abstract thinking and basic Logic.

   “Democracy”, if you will, HAS proven itself to be a superior form of government. All the peace pansies who pretend people can live without EVER going to war should be all for a movement within the UN to make every nation transform itself into a Democracy, or have it done FOR them. Before they inevitably start yet another war…

   Instead. they cheer on Barack Hussein Obama as he travels around the world coddling dictators and tyrants, assuring them that Despotism is safe so long as HE is on the watch.

   To fools like Obama, humanity never learns, never grows. There is no universal right and wrong discovered over the millenias, no moral truths about humanity and human behavior which can be shared, taught, and held onto.

   Obama is a tyrant at heart who believes leaders like HIM are where all morality springs from. “All power grows from the barrel of a gun” is his bottom line, when you get right down to it. Government is God, and there is no God–only government. Which logically places those who lead governments into the position of being gods–exactly how his own words and behaviors reveal him to be in his mind’s own eye..

   You want PEACE? Stop being cowards and build a tough UN which would depose every tyrant, despot, bully-boy around the globe. No more Kim Jong Ills, no more Castros, no more despots PERIOD.

   Short of that, STOP BITCHING ABOUT SOLDIERS BEING SENT TO WAR. Because like the poor, War we will always have with us…

   New times are coming up Scott. Either we cooperate with other nations or we go extinct. Please realize there was once the perception of an all powerful, invincible military, brought about temporarily–in the context of history–through the “mastery” of the nuclear option, so well illustrated with the “Little Boy” and the “Fat Man” in 1945; but now it’s only the reckoning we have to work together with other nations.

   And soldiers, though enlisted, should not lose their self-determination to serve or not. If it is a voluntary army, then going to war should be voluntary also, for voluntarily giving away your self-will strikes me as absurd. These men and women are putting their lives in danger, they should at least be given a vote and a voice.

   About killing and torture, rapine and lies
   He promised to kill everyone in the world

    “Either we cooperate with other nations or we go extinct”

    What the Hell does the above gibberish mean? Where is there a MORE co-operative nation than the US? Why do you think the United Nations is located within OUR borders? What’s your idea of a “co-operative” nation–Iran, North Korea? Have you written a letter to Kim Jung Ill and told him he either co-operates or goes extinct?

    What a child you are. I laugh. You said nothing intellectually coherent, at best denying the US is doing something which it already does far too much of…

    PS You further display total ignorance by claiming that soldiers must dictate who does or does not go to war. You envision militaries operating via enlisted men ordering the generals where and how and IF they should fight.. it’s so absurd a concept as to make any thinking man chuckle.

    …but by the way, going it alone is not “cooperating”, Scott.

    dtroutma said, about 1 month ago

    Scooter, the word is “caste” not “chaste”. As to U.S. “cooperation”, ask Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua, Libya, Lebanon, Venezuela, Chile, or a few other countries about how much we’ve “cooperated” in destroying their governments, economies, and societies. Yep, throw in Iraq and Afghanistan while you’re at it.

    Hey Scott:

Yet, you say they were correct to support 2 Terrorists. My Question to you is Why? Why do you support Republicaas supporting Terrorist Nations and Terrorism? Why Scott/ Please enlighten us.

    News Flash Scott: Saddam was Killing Iraqis for he 12 Years RR and HW Bush Supported him. Why are you not having a hissy fit that RR did nothig to halt Saddam from killing Iraqis? Why Scott? Plese let us Know why have a Double Standard?

    Scott: As Peter Segal said, ‘If Bush had been president in ‘41, he would have declared, ‘A day that will stay in bad things,’ and ordered the entire US military to attack Bulgaria.’

    Most of the hijackers were Saudis, so Bush and Obama say we must retaliate against the real villains, Iraq and Afghanistan, neither of whom had anything to do with 9/11.

    But there was lots of money to be made for Bush and Cheney in Iraq. Why they bothered with Afghanistan remains a mystery.

    As does what Obama hopes to gain.

    You know it is our duty to ask why we sent him – it seems it has become a “Don’t Ask - Don’t Tell” situation.

    If we don’t ask they wont have to tell why we are there and why we need to stay there.

    “Because Bush started it” is no longer good enough, if he we stay it will become Obama’s Vietnam, with probably the same results.

    “edmondd said, about 5 hours ago

    New times are coming up Scott. Either we cooperate with other nations or we go extinct. …”

    I would say “we” have to cooperate with other people. “Nation” usually means “state”, and the fundamental purpose of the state is war. Naturally, when we read of the history of the state, we find endless wars. That was all very well when “we” were just advanced monkeys running around the jungle banging each over the head with clubs, but since those days “our” technology has advanced to the point where we can probably destroy one another completely. We urgently need to stop adding to the power of the state and to find or cultivate a non-coercive social order. It seems pretty obvious that a continued struggle for power will end in catastrophe.

    I guess I could write this on every leftist comic that ridicules our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan: we are in Iraq and Afghanistan because those are the battlefields we chose to engage in our War on Worldwide Islamic Jihad (which Bush erroneously called a War on “terror”). Al-Qaida was and is operating out of Afghanistan/Pakistan, and Iraq was run by a terroristic despot who occupied a strategic territory next to Iran (and who had been refusing to cooperate with International (!) efforts to investigate his activities since the middle of the Clinton era). Our presence in those two countries has focused the efforts of the jihadists to those areas. Pretty simple to understand.

    it takes a left wing and a right wing to fly this bloated demoralized turkey of a nation, manipulated by Big Money, and too apathetic to lift the latest electronic gizmo long enough to make the small changes in civility, grit and conscience that will redeem us from the war profiteering tomorrow the world mentality of what has passed for presidential puppetry these last many years.

    holy cow. so much to do, so little time. so little kindness.

    Babka, many believe the best generation has passed, or is passing away. The men and women who lived through the Great Depression learned how to be tough. They walked to school in snow,for miles, uphill both ways! Hope man! I do. Change can be slow. Find a book called,” The Clock of the Long Now”. It explains how architecture,government,religion and social foundations are inherently slow to change, That is why we return to those institutions in crisis, to stabilize. Christ went into the wilderness. We just have to stop this country from being a refuge for the corporations. No one said it would be easy to wrestle with corporate titans.

    All of the 9/11 terrorist came from Saudi Arabia, except one, he was United Arab Republic – Bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia, most of his financial support comes from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic – why didn’t we invade them?

    The Bin Laden family is very good friends with the Bushes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Osama is up in Kennebunk playing tennis with George and Barb. Oh yeah… we buy quite a lot of oil from these Saudis, too. Just like WWII, everybody kept their money in Switzerland, and thus, that country wasn’t damaged. Several of these 19 hijackers showed up in various places around the globe in the following months, and they were quite astounded about that terrible day, but professed to be in good health and confused as to how their names and faces were included in all of the hoopla. Quite simply, I don’t believe anything the government says. Never will. I love America, but the government is, and probably always will be a pack of lying weasels.

    That’s really sad. We are as we always were is a negative and defeatist mindset which makes conflict inevitable.
    C’mon dude. Get that one foot out of the cave and into the 21st century. A lot of us have, you probably can too.

    Mattro53,

    I was intrigued by your citation and was (am)going to respond, Pax Romana.

    But I went to see who had been the source of your citation and I saw it was Scottfrietas, a poster who gives my scrolling finger a workout. But I have to say that SF makes some other points in that post which I find valid. Such as the need for a strong UN.
