Here we go again
The subject is disarmament and its effects on me and my children and
grandchildren
One can rationally argue we in the new
world USA are unilaterally disarming, like
reducing our own nation defense on purpose.
The consequences seem obvious to me.
1) A military draft will
probably come back as our future politicians decide to better protect our
Country as best they can given their situation at the time. By this time the
military draft will be for your often future sons and daughters. The voluntary
military ideas will have faded after four decades. Think about that. Is that what you want
because that is one obvious consequence of what is happening right now in the
USA. All this worry is just conventional thinking, by the way.
1a) Others than USA
people may and do think another way. This idea includes cultural things like
history and national and religious values . Add that prospect into your USA
thinking , too.
2) Times will be even harder during any defense recovery
phase in the USA, for another example.
3) There was a time when Americans built bomb
shelters for obvious reasons. Mostly it
was on the West Coast. Even I used to
play things like "seven minutes in heaven" in the bomb shelter we
broke into during the 1960s. Even
"spin the bottle" was routine. Girls in the 6th grade even wore
"falsies" back then. Here's a
wiki link on falsies to help the uninitiated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsies
4) What are you going to
do if our President and Congress surrenders to some local regional despot, like
in Iran or China, or even Cuba? Forget
our Allies, like Germany and Japan, for example. Even imagine the consequences.
So what are you going to do during
your time when you can influence things? It is the time, like "your time",
and your life and your children's lives. Even try explain and defend your own
logic and ideology to them , for another example.
Now obviously there is a better way.
Let's speak and write about it, vice anything else.
