' Yes, most upper middle class males did not serve in the Vietnam War.  I enlisted anyway because I could not, at the time, read on a college level.  Therefore the draft was eminent.  After joining the service I refused to cheat by means of distributed answers to an upcoming electronics test at Kessler Air Force base. I failed the test and was removed from military electronics training.  My assignment then became 'Cook'.  The four year enlistment could never have been anticipated: one year in Biloxi Mississippi, one year in Myrtle Beach South Carolina, and two years forty miles from Seville Spain. The rest is a fairy tale for a young romantic with artistic ambitions.    The preceding clip to this blog entry is not a reality most young men shared because everyone was scared shitless during the Vietnam Era.  My generation had every right to denounce war without cause and death without meaning.  One last note.  Lo...

My war is never ending The suggestion that the war is winding down after seven years of mayhem gained common currency in 2017. Evidence on the ground suggests the opposite holds true. According to despairing UN statements last week, the scale of suffering across the country has reached unprecedented levels, with access to aid blocked in three population centers and more than 13 million people displaced and in need. More than 500,000 people have died since 2011. But the killing continues unabated. Source  theguardian.com   Simon Tisdall   Sat 10 Feb 2018 22.00 GMT

The complexities of supplying a country's military industrial complex is ironically complex.  It is fraught with any number of economic consequences.  Occasionally something good come out of research and manufacturing of war machines - the economy blogger What distinguishes the “power elite” that constitutes the military-industrial complex from other powerful groups in American society who also seek advancement of their own interests, is that this is not a ruling class based solely on the ownership of property (Mills 1956, cited in Moskos 1974: 499-500). Rather, it is a coalition of civilian agencies that formally shape military policy (such as the Senate and the CIA), military institutions, private firms, research institutions and think tanks – all centered on and linked to the Pentagon (Hossein-zadeh 2006: 13). As a result of power arising from the occupancy in top bureaucratic positions as well as from capital ownership, the interests of the ruling elite go beyond th...

Red Square is a city square in Moscow, Russia. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod. Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and all of Russia, because Moscow's major streets—which connect to Russia's major highways—originate from the square.

Not all of Trump’s outrages can or should be ignored. His lies need to be fact-checked. His racism needs to be called out. Most important, his attempts to obstruct justice need to be stopped, not encouraged, by Congress. But people who are disturbed by his presidency should keep reminding themselves of the big goal here: persuading Trump supporters and Trump agnostics that his presidency is damaging the country. “These people don’t exist in a vacuum. They emerge when there is a total distrustof the elite,” Zingales told me recently. “The more the elite goafter him, the more people think, ‘He’s one of us.’ ” Source  New York Times    David Leonhardt  Op-Ed Columnist

With a seemingly clear path to victory, the Kremlin is instead worried about enthusiasm around the election for Putin.

--> "You Americans have wrong ideas of the nature of your constitution; you contend that the king's instructions to his governors are not laws, and think yourselves at liberty to regard or disregard them at your own discretion. But those instructions are not like the pocket instructions given to a minister going abroad, for regulating his conduct in some trifling point of ceremony. They are first drawn up by judges learned in the laws; they are then considered, debated, and perhaps amended in Council, after which they are signed by the king. They are then, so far as they relate to you, the law of the land , for the king is the Legislator of the Colonies." I told his lordship this was new doctrine to me. I had always understood from our charters that our laws were to be made by our Assemblies, to be presented indeed to the king for his royal assent, but that being once given the king could not repeal or alter them. And as the Assemblies could not make permanent ...
