I say send the politician and banksters kids first
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1444339


true

but they never do.

the military - of every country-

are cannon fodder for the rich
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11946116


That's why we have a volunteer military. So there's no chance that these fortunate kids would be drafted, and because they know they can get enough volunteers.

And once someone volunteers, you can put them through more than if they had been drafted. You would have a real political problem if you tried to stop-loss draftees. But here, you just say "it's in your contract."

Also, our foreign policy would come under more intense scrutiny if kids were being drafted to implement it. Maybe there would be enough push-back to end our policy of endless mucking around in the middle east. And they don't see the need to risk that.

 Quoting: Mr. Predictor


hf

Neither possible winner of the next Presidential term says he will do that though. Even if Obama says he'll do that (and Biden did say very clearly he'd get out of Afghanistan in the VP debate) there could be a new war. Libya came out of the blue, after he said he wouldn't do it. Syria must be tempting to him. I say that sarcastically, bitterly.

Re: UPDATE*** Brother recieved orders... Military UPDATE***
My brother is in the Marines. He went to Iraq and Afagn. Recently he got to come home. I think he said he was now Active Reserve or something cause he had like 2yrs left on his contract. Well his 2yrs are almost up and they sent a letter to my dads telling him he has to report to houston airport i guess to go back to california. I have not been able to talk to him about. But it seems they are wanting to deploy him again. Where idk, but i have a good feeling on what they are planning. I see people are putting stuff about wars they believe are coming up, so i figured i would throw that out there. I will update when i talk to him, which should be later this evening.

I already know his stance on this tho, because we talked about what was going on over there, and he doesnt agree with it. Pathetic politicians.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

And I hope the OP's brother knows why he went to Afganistan as it has a lot to do with Opium.

I wonder how often military personnel actually question the reasons they are doing a certain job. Seems like most of them have their heads in the sand and don't want to know. They just want a paycheck.

You're in Canada so you can be forgiven for not knowing just how little the US citizens feel connected to these wars the government is pursuing in these places in the middle east.

You're ion America, so you can be forgiven for not knowing how much we actually know about the States. I get CNN too you know =P And I have American family. I do know how little you guys care. But I do think I have a valid point in saying that if your government IS in fact planning an attack and people are expressing concern about their family members being deployed, I wouldn't exactly advertise it on the net and possibly put your nation or soldier family member at risk. I'm sure they have access to the same sites we do, hell for all we know they're the ones that are trolling LOLrant :) Just saying..

Then your a mercenary, it has noting to do with the american people when you follow the orders of elitist-captured military policy; that doesnt even serve america; in fact, is detrimental to it for corporate and elitist agenda;s.

So you would follow an order to shoot americans? WHat the fuck are you if you dont serve the american people?
