Obama Iraq Speech To Signal Shift To Afghan Focus

Young people today might begin to understand now why Vietnam vets didn't get "flowers and candy" here at home in the 1970s. Stopping war is impossible when people are willing to join the military. And when people have no other choice but to join the military in order to get a paycheck (which wasn't the situation during the Vietnam war years), war becomes (literally) a 'dead-end job'.



Since the draft ended and since the privatization of the military began, our government has been able to cloak accurate counts of troops in these wars.



Reinstating the draft and ending the privatizing of military services (and all government services, as privatization only makes services more expensive by adding middlemen, CEOs & shareholders, into the transactions for the sole purpose of getting a piece of the action) is the only way We the People are going to be able to end these wars.
