The new Immigration Army
OK! OK! So enlistments are down ... in every services (by 40-50%) and branch there of. So, reinstating the draft is out of the question ... what to do?
Well, it's simple. If your willing to give up the security of your nation for the ability to meet quotas needed in our military to meet the exodus of personell getting the H' outta dodge after being held hostage for years past their normal deros (or what they thought it would be).
How simple, how inexplicitly brilliant and ignorant at the same time, how in excusably stupid. But, it will sell - after all, better an immigrant risk their all than some real 3rd generation american. Personally, my folks been here since 1740s and hav fought in every stupid skirmish we've had (my son, Jr. is in Iaraq today - though I confess, after retiring from the USAF - he's a contract dufass).
So, what does Bush propose? Well, he already did it - four years ago, without much fan fare or notice from the "minutemen" (and I do mean minute). He gave one of his presidential directives (you know like approving Bolton, etc) that authorized any illegals that signed into joining the military to have the immediate ability to request citizen status. Now, this use to be a 3 year waiting period ..... period. Bush wiped it a way.
And now? To keep his kiddies and relatives safe (and all his GOP'ers - with the exception of McCain, whom's kids can't seem to help themselves from volunteering. 2 former admirals can do that to you.) his buds have come up with the most brilliant plan I believe I have ever heard of. That being, allowing the military (USA, that is) to set up enlistment booths any where in the world and allowing those that sign on the line immediate access to becoming citizens.
One retired-general (Kevin Ryan) told the Christian Science Monitor (one of the last vestues for truth) that, "Instead of waiting for people to trickle in, we could go out and find the ones we want."
If it sounds a little Imperialistic ... it is. If it sounds like our leaders have lost all semblance to being leaders? Well, it is tough calling Americans to stand up for themselves when it is easier to get others to do it .... even if it allows 10-20,000 future terrorists in.
I tell you, I am beginning to wonder who wipes Bush43's ass ... because, obviously he can't do it himself.
