Like it or not, Dear Reader, if there truly is a National Emergency, both men and women will be drafted into the military. We came very close to this measure when the President started a war in Iraq, but the majority of, "We People of the United States of America," saw that war for what it really is and many politicians rejected the idea of a draft at this time.
What will our politicians do the next time the young people of our once great Nation are again called upon to defend all that we believe? Your guess is as good as mine, but as sure as I am writing this story, there will come a time when our volunteer army will not be enough to stop a determined enemy.
Then again, the current Republican Administration, in the opinion of many people, have not acted in a responsible manner. No doubt, when the current people within the White House are replaced, chances are that some of them will get a new home within a Federal prison for using the resources of the people and the Government of the United States of America for their own private war against people who continue to support the secret agenda of the richest people on Earth. That might or might not be true and I sincerely hope that those elected politicians did act in the best interests of the majority.
Clearly, someone has to pay for the huge waste of our Nation's resources so that the huge multinational corporations of the World can obtain more natural resources and exploit cheap labor markets within every area of our World. Those truly rich and greedy people simply want to use our armies as World policemen to put all of those protesters away forever. Sooner or later We People will get wise to that idea and take some positive action against such behavior, including the current batch of "Yes People" within the Government of the United States of America, whose elections were bought and paid for by the owners and controllers of each and everyone of the multinational corporations.
They are the real problem that now faces the people of the entire World. I wonder, who in their right mine would go to war for the defense of big business, instead of for the protection of our families and Country? It would seem that we were tricked into the current war, but I truly hope that such a thing does not happen again.
Our relations with the other major Nations were never strained more than they now are. The next World War will take several years in order to become a shooting war. Yes, it seems that the current Republican Administration is now well on its way to such a World conflict. We People, on the other hand, need to take control of the situation before things get even worse than they are and restore our World image before it is too late.
You better believe that if World War III begins, every person who has two arms and two legs will be pressed into the battle in some capacity, just like they were when we entered World War II. May the truth be known for the good of the majority.
