1. John McCain, War Games And The Draft | Linda

John McCain offers it about good authority (George W.) in which the Hundred Years' War is actually
a lot a lot more than a boring chapter inside European history. It's Chapter one inside the
Bush/Cheney foreign policy crisis handbook, War Games: The Particular Pre-emptive Punch power
Play.
The Bush/McCain doctrine is actually clear: That is actually imperative to strike the first blow when
we possess a notion somebody out there implies in order to damage America. Or Perhaps even piss
us off. especially if they've got oil. or a pipeline. We hit very first and in which we hit hard. Virtually
Any perceived enemy will be fair game. Zero verifiable proof evil intent required. These Grand Ole
Pugilists recognize evil after they discover it. Dubya offers sixth sense sufficient to check to the eyes
of another energy player to see proper into the guy's soul (a skill, one may hope, he'll share using
McCain should November deliver us any GOP victory).
Bellicose, saber-rattlin' War Games. That's what Bush/McCain foreign policy can be almost all about.
America isn't alarmed.
Our role, as defined from the present administration, is often to go for the mall. We are the
particular Shop-for-Freedom Fighters. The Particular great majority folks are generally non-military
families. And Also it's just fine to play the particular War Game if the "pieces" -- the actual toy
soldiers -- fit throughout with somebody else. Nevertheless what do you have to do when the troops
are usually worn slap out?
My friends, John McCain feels a new draft.
And I'm together with you every one regarding the way, great buddy. We Southerners are famous
with regard to firing the initial shot when we're in the snit. I'm with you whenever you repeat the
new draft should not necessarily be such as the previous one. A Person would not, regarding course,
supply us any idea concerning how you would amend the actual Selective Service. So, liberal or

2. perhaps not, I'm going to do my patriotic duty. If we're planning to fight the great fight for that
subsequent hundred years, we want several damn rules.
We require a draft again. a shiny new one. the old Selective service was only that will -- selective.
Presently there were simple deferments for people who had the cash to remain in college. Lots
regarding Vietnam-era privileged guys got a rapid yen with regard to graduate degrees. Along With
others, just like George W. and also Dan Quayle, could prevent the draft altogether since daddy had
money, had power, had influence. Daddy just pulled a few strings along with got anyone bumped in
front of each other poor guy on the National Guard waiting list, or got an individual in to grad
college even as soon as your academic record put you thus lower around the list of applicants
anyone left skid marks.
Nope. We can't possess that. We're planning to play fair this time. Zero issue whose keester winds
up in a sling.
Look to games to be able to define the guidelines of fair play regarding games. Let's do it like, say,
the NBA. A Person know, very first round draft picks, second round, third round and thus on. Along
With simply no deferments. None. Here's the real approach it goes:
First Round: The Particular kids, nieces, nephews and/or grandchildren of every part of the
particular executive branch whom props up war. The Actual president as well as vice-president are
generally the initial Americans to send all associated with their family's kids off to always be able to
war. every final among them.
Second Round: Legislative branch kids. Legislators which vote in order to authorize war send their
particular children. along with executive branch kids, they might be the really first wave towards the
front lines.
Third Round: DOD, Pentagon and also war-mongering believe tank policy makers/writers. all their
young'uns are usually gone.
Fourth Round: Hit up corporate America. Kids of defense contractors, oil business execs and also the
like.
If you adore the notion of the war, should you promote it, vote for it as well as stand to create any
revenue as the result -- then you're certainly happy to complete the patriotic duty. You'll want to
share, to the fullest extent, the actual energy as well as glory of your righteous war. You've earned
the actual privilege. Kiss your children goodbye. Pertaining To the particular duration.
Senator McCain, I'm therefore together using you in this new draft.
And it'll work wonders. I'm certain of it. you may bet we'll notice a number of serious talking
heading on throughout Washington. We'll visit a veritable renaissance regarding diplomacy as well
as intelligent, thoughtful discourse in solving our problems. Generally there will not necessarily be
another Vietnam or Iraq inside our long term -- not necessarily with the kids of the potent at an
elevated risk first. Speak with regards to your checks and balances! Zero much more manipulative,
lying, pre-emptive rush to war with out consequences. Just Like impeachment.
War Video Games will be rare indeed if the children of the effective and also privileged tend to be

3. the extremely first to play. Your price of war, our leaders will tell us then, can be too damned high.
