Buy ’Em While They’re Young

FPF/Europe - May 11th - 2006 - Ignoring the $billion constructions, the illegally building of permanent bases in Iraq too, 'The Christian Science Monitor' in a contradictory story yesterday headlined the question: "Is US finally ready to withdraw troops from Iraq?" - In this malplaced piece of propaganda collaborator Tom Regan writes: ''Though Iraqi troops are 'very badly equipped' and new government is still forming, conditions may allow US to start to leave.''*
That bait-info is interesting in combination with the information given in an article in 'USA Today': ''About 8,000 sailors are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that number may go as high as 12,000 this year. Several experts say this is not necessary a good sign. Frederick Kagan, a military historian at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, says that asking sailors and airmen to do jobs that normally well-trained soldiers perform, especially in a combat area, is "what you do only when you're desperate."
THE BRAINWASHING STARTS EARLY
In a very informative article in 'Fort Worth Weekly' it's pointed out that: 'The Army and the Marines failed to meet recruitment goals last year, and the military doesn’t cotton to failure. Maintaining 1.4 million active duty troops and 1.2 million in guard and reserve units, it seemed, required a renewed focus. The Army, the service branch most relied upon in Iraq, raised its maximum age limit for recruits from 35 to 39. - [ http://tinyurl.com/kl3vf ] - More benefits were offered. [ ] “The brainwashing starts early,” said Hillary Timmers of Peaceful Vocations, a Fort Worth group that goes into schools to counterbalance recruiters.
For this brainwashing the warmongers have a legion of collaborators behind them, which - when they brainstorm - get at least an IQ together above 60, and sneaked in an obscure small print clause in the 'No Child Left Behind Act', a horror in itself. - [ http://tinyurl.com/axsoo] - And the fine written text required all public schools to give the military 'usurers with lives' access to the schools. When parents and other people found out about the 'law' that takes their kids, it was too late. Now some fight for the lives of local youngsters.
Wanting a human life for them, not as a disabled veteran or secretly returning in a coffin.
“During late 2004 and in 2005 we were given additional recruiters and advertising funding,” Army spokesman Doug Smith said. “We’ve been able to increase the maximum cash enlistment bonus from $20,000 to 40,000.” - The Army college fund now offers up to $71,000 to each recruit, although critics say loopholes abound and it’s difficult to actually get all the money. Still, monetary promises in the five figures are a powerful recruiting tool. So far this year, the Army is ahead of its goal of recruiting 80,000 for active duty and 25,500 for the reserves.*
GET ’EM WHILE THEY’RE YOUNG
Yesterday's feature in the Fort Worth Weekly* on the recruiting in US schools wasn't beating around the Bush policy as advised by the group now running the Pentagon: "Get ’Em While They’re Young" - The law requires that the military be given the same access to students as any other recruiters, including those from colleges, and last March, the Bush appointees which have usurped the Supreme Court ruled that the 'federal government' can stop funding schools that ban recruiters. Talk about blackmail.
Anybody seeing the schoolboys recruited and who knows history, immediately is reminded of the Hitlerjuged: ''By 1943, Nazi leaders began turning the Hitler Youth into a military reserve to draw manpower which had been depleted due to tremendous military losses. The Division was a fully equipped Waffen-SS panzer division with the majority of the enlisted cadre being drawn from Hitler Youth boys between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. - [ http://tinyurl.com/fbgnp] - As German casualties mounted members of the HJ were recruited at ever younger ages. By 1945, the Volkssturm was commonly drafting Hitler Youth members into its ranks as young as 12 years old. - Wikipedia - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/n5z66
THE TOP KILLER OF U.S. TROOPS IN IRAQ
USA TODAY's man in Washington filed the item describing some kind of last ditch attempt to fill the ranks of people to the slaughter on the battlefields: "The Navy and Air Force are training their sailors and airmen for war duty far from the seas or skies: jobs typically performed by a strained Army in Iraq and Afghanistan. Navy and Air Force personnel are replacing Army soldiers to carry out such duties as guarding convoys, patrolling bases and watching for homemade bombs, the top killer of U.S. troops in Iraq. The Navy also is running a prison in Iraq, patrolling rivers and helping to clear and search buildings. - [The PNAC's Dirty War - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/zcr3m]
About 8,000 sailors are on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Rear Adm. David Gove, head of the Navy Personnel Command. By the end of the year, that number is expected to grow to as many as 12,000, he says. The air force has not said how many airmen are doing army jobs. - [endquote]*
THE UNITED STATES WILL NOT BOW TO COLD-HEARTED KILLERS
Front man and 'christian crusader' George Bush - with the PNAC-tail wagging the American Dog of War and managing the 'war theater' - keeps saying that: ''The United States will not bow to cold-hearted killers". Forgetting and denying that it's because of his orders to commit war crimes and his PNAC 'advisers' infernl deeds during the last centuries, that the rest of the world now looks upon most Americans and their mercenaries in the 'Coalition of the Killing' as 'cold hearted killers'... "They are totally brainwashed and only look like humans" it is said: "They behave like atrocious aliens.'
There's no sign that the spreading global and legally justified resistance against the US empire in the occupied countries will ever stop. Not for generations to come. The US 'PNAC pack', the UK group and their collaborators seem to have forgotten that they are surrounded by 195 countries and billions of people hating their guts. Populations that want the warmonger's and their so called government's heads on a plate.
And most people seeing the by the also radio-active Holocaust devastated, radiation poisoned people and countries plus the for profit killed millions, only want one thing: the departure of the foreign troops, so this latest Holocaust by them ends.
But, looking at the present detoriated situation on the globe, I don't think the revenge of the victims which have survived the illegal wars, will have anything to do with the PNAC collaborator's human rights either. It's going to be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Logical: If you live by the sword, you'll die by the sword...
