More blood for pride

Congress just voted down a bill to reinstate the draft for men and women without the option to defer for higher education. They voted it down but why was it in the House in the first place. According to U.S. Army public information officers, the Army is growing by 30,000 in the next year. Why? Where are they going to find people who are willing to die for an increasingly unpopular war? They will find them in schools. Our schools are failing, kids have less and less options for college and even if they go to college the job market is dismal. But these 30,000 new troops will not just be sitting around on American, Afghani or Iraqi soil. They will be dispersed to the corners of the globe- Americans have no idea where our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters are being sent. Kids are scared. Parents are scared. Be prepared for Bush to take over again and flush any hope minorities and poor people have of a better life. If you are intersted in the topic of building the US Army- look at my article at the Santa Fe New Mexican website. Once again, the government has something brewing that is going to screw over people not just in America, but in many other countries as well.
