| For one thing the weapon manufacturing companies are behind the wars and the government promotes those sales.
The military cannot draft people because that idea is no longer popular and so they must keep on re-using the same guys, mostly those National Guard units, The 9-11 attacks resulted in some people signing up but when Bush switched the war to fighting Iraq instead of terrorism the military started having problems getting new enlistments.
Bush is misstreating the people who signed up by making them over-stay thier duty time, plus making them take part is what has amounted to war crimes and that is all flat out wrong.
A real war for the right reason we can win hands-down, but these wars that we get into that are not clearly set forth for that right reason are doomed to failure and are a disgrace to our otherwise good name and our flag waving desire to be patriotic. |
