SOLDIERING ON & ON

Politics 138 comments

I served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, so I know a little about duty, honor, and war. That’s why I have always believed that we should never send troops to a foreign land unless our safety is really threatened. And when that happens, we should roll in like the Wrath of God, kill everything that breathes, and then come back home. I opposed the Vietnam War, Grenada, Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We didn’t have a dog in any of those fights and no soldier should have been asked to lay down their life for natural resources, a proxy war, or political posturing.

Believe it or not, America used to be a peaceful, noninterventionist nation. We had a small military, we didn’t stick our nose where it didn’t belong, and most countries on earth actually admired us. They wanted to be us.

But World War I and World War II changed all that. We emerged as victorious warriors and ready to assume the role of policeman for the world. Today we have the third largest army with 1,400,000 active duty personnel. Only China and India have more troops. And we spend $760 billion a year on the military, which is more than the next 12 nations combined! And only a fool would believe we are truly any safer when all is said and done. I, in fact, would argue the exact opposite.

Since the Roman Empire, military powers have always had to keep their armies busy —  or buy them off — because when soldiers come home during times of peace, many of their members are unemployed and prone to drug abuse and general troublemaking. Can you say, “January 6th”?

And that’s why we need to bring our armies home from EVERYWHERE abroad and put them to work, rebuilding America’s bridges, municipal water lines, national parks, and whatever else needs fixing. Because as long as every state is economically connected to the military industrial complex through manpower and weapons, we will be in a constant state of war.
