What shocks me is the speed with which “zero-tolerance” has rendered the schools uninhabitable.
As a third grader in the 1980’s, I brought a DEWAT pineapple grenade to show and tell. I thought it was the coolest thing. After a classmate of mine (against my reproach) pulled the pin, I was sent to the principal’s office. She told me “not to bring hand grenades to school.” That was it. No detention, no suspension, nothing. Had that occurred today, I’d have likely been expelled and/or shipped to GITMO.

There is a very apt analogy in Mr. H.G.Wells’ novel called The Time Machine. In the far-flung future, there are two races of “men” on the world; one which is known as the eloi and the other, the morlocks. The difference is that the eloi pursue lives of pleasure and passivity to the point in conveniently forgetting unfortunate violence perpetrated against them, while the morlocks are subterranean, industrial workers who have violent mannerisms.

While the science-fiction genre often touches upon otherwise difficult political topics like feminisation of society and polarisation as was done in the Wells’ book, my personal take-away was that in the situation and juxtaposed relationship between morlocks and eloi gives a sterner warning: that if a certain population does not take upon itself martial duties such as readiness, they will be supplanted and undermined to the point of negation by those who are willing to do it.

Forget the elaborate caste system because if it’s anything to aim for, we should be the “helots” or the “new arrivals”, looking to supplant the corrupt modernists. If you are fortunate you will become “neo-brahmins” and be able to alter the discourse in a way beneficial to your group. But, vaisya, brahmin, or optimates are right out, since they are too impotent…

This is a very interesting topic to cover, so “Dampier” is to be commended. Also recommended is Mr. Robert Whitaker’s lecture on the same subject – “D.I.C.T.A. – Don’t Interfere Call The Authorities” http://whitakeronline.org/audio/dicta.mp3

We use depleted urainium because it’s very dense and has armor penetrating properties greater than it’s predecessor tungsten. The health concerns [which affect us as well] were unknown prior to them appearing.

As to International Law: The United States is International Law. We are International Law.

I find nothing to disagree with in the above article, you are correct on all points.

At the present time although this wasn’t addressed we’re better indeed much better with an all volunteer force especially as it’s becoming generational as police work, firefighting and indeed many safer trades. We don’t have a problem winning any battle tactically, we do have continious strategic stalemate or defeat since Korea but those are due to non-military political considerations. To wit we are consistently betrayed. The cost of actually doing anything to solve that problem is prohibitively high, it may not always be so.

the Americans could have just used neutron bombs instead, although it would’ve run against international law – See more at: http://www.socialmatter.net/2014/06/12/inhibiting-violence/#sthash.ydjuXmnm.dpuf

Actually, the USA breaks its own laws and international laws all the time.

They didn’t use the neutron bomb because a bunch of brass hats decided they liked depleted uranium better. Laws had nothing to do with it. It was a government of men, not laws.

And then the depleted-uranium babies were born, opening up a new age of human deformities, mutations, and inoperable cancers.

Great topic and analysis.

Not sure I agree the problem is cooperation; more so, the problem is refusal to harness a necessary reaction.

To love something is to kill to defend it. Any mother — if she searched her soul — would see the truth of that.
