The United States doesn't have a military

[MorkandMindy]

That's the title, you write the rest :o

 

[Douger]

Okay, the rest goes like this.

"Just kidding, America really does have a military and it's a safe bet that it could beat any other country's military in a conventional war."

 

[Panzerkamfwagen]

...last time we tried that the Germans invaded France.

 

[Axioma]

You don't need a military when you have the Free Market!

PMCs are much more efficient!

 

[HollandScotts]

what the point of this topic? seems like spam to me.

The Unites States doesn't have a military it has a terror network!!

Ooops, sorry. Think I was channeling chipahualca there for a moment.

The United States doesn't have a military....

It has the baddest peacemakers you would ever want to meet

 

[Staccato]

Why does this remind me of really bad fanfic?

But anyways, the responses get a for making me laugh whilst having a paper due in in less than 48 hours. Good job guys!

The OP has a brain, you write what is next...

We dont have a military; we have a giant robot army that gives you better pay and benefits than a job requiring twenty-times the education needed.

After post 7 I've gone all shy...


I'll post tomorrow, but really enjoying some of the responses, giant robot army... channelling chipahualca and yes I looked up PMC and bookmarked fanfic, might get my nephew into that.

Of course America has a military.

If every enlistment office had a front door for recruits to enter, and an incinerator for the disposal of remains, much expense and inefficiency could be dispensed with.

The only reason anyone has a military is because some one else has a military.

 

[Ryal Kane]

Huh? Of course the US has a military.

Actually it's a socialized military!

But that's a different topic.

Given the overuse of corrupt contract companies supplying employees in military operations both domestically and abroad there may be a point to this.

 

[mpok1519]

no military, just a robot army.

And if you join up with the robot army, they pay you IMMEDIATELY.

but if you choose the other situation, going to school, you will end up paying lots and lots of money.

Its backwards here in this country; join something with little or no experience required(just a strong back and clean urine), and get paid plenty. Join up something thats just one long rigorous standardized test, and it will end up draining away all of your money.

backwards isnt it....

The United States does not have a military - the military has the United States.

President Eisenhower warned about this happening in his farewell address, and the power of the Industrial Military complex has become very extensive.

EXAMPLE 1 - SUPPLIES
Both the Vietnam Era and the Occupation of Iraq became protracted conflicts lacking attainable goals.

Any government primarily concerned about the reputation of the country or the reputation of the military would pick attainable goals, attain them, and leave.

But the road map was a detailed plan for taking out the defenses, seizing airports and roads, getting in to cities, and then the plans stopped.

Why? Haliburton is supplying the soldiers and getting a lot of money for doing it. The more soldiers posted to Iraq or Afghanistan and the longer they are there, the more money Haliburton and their stooge Dick Cheney get.

Suppose you were paid 40,000 dollars each week you allowed soldiers to stay somewhere, would you care if you slowly became unpopular? The American public has been amazingly slow to catch on.

The military industrial / Cheney etc. power block has more influence over the war than the public or the military leaders themselves have.
