Dems New Military Strategy



The Democrats were recently restored to power in the Congress, miraculously bereft of any new ideas or plans for the future. Well, it only took them a couple weeks, but they finally have announced their new plan for the U.S. military.

Lets review it shall we?

High School students should have no contact whatsoever with the military, but as soon as they graduate we will draft their asses!

I love the clearheaded, logical consistency!

I can certainly understand the why we need such a comprehensive policy. I was straddling the fence, but then I was won over by the following unassailable argument out of San Fran: "We don't want the military ruining our civilian institutions..." Eureka! Problem solved...



In all seriousness, this type of tripe makes me ill. Bill Bennett made a great point in his show last Thursday, about how these little "People's Republics" with their sanctimonious leftist policies in the name of diversity or justice or whatever, only exist thanks to the parallel existence of the U.S. military. Lucky for them, no matter how often they "bite the hand", the hand will never slap them back. That is the beauty of this great country...despite any of the militaristic conspiracy theories that Bay Area residents wish to believe.

Ultimately San Francisco is entirely too full of itself anyhow. Based on this policy, I might have decided never to spend any of my future tourist dollars in that city. However, I had already made that decision 5 years ago. In the days following 9/11, my wife and I were stuck in SF (after a nice time in Napa Valley) awaiting a flight home to Northern Virginia. In general, we found it to be highly overrated, crowded, expensive, and a pretty dirty place. So, this latest policy only reinforces my opinions on the place, as I am sure it does for may other Americans.

As for the irascible Charlie Rangel and his constant push to reinstate the draft, one only needs to know that the last time he proposed it, he ended up voting against his own legislation when it came to the floor.

Congratulations Democrats! Your newfound power and oversight is off to a great start!
