That would be the purpose of the militia and not of the professional army. Professional armies are for conquest and repression and the founders never wanted one.

Quote from Madison: "The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people."

this would be one of my few points of contention with you fluffy.... these men "thought" they were doing the right thing for all the right reasons... most anyway.... duped or not... the nobility of a mans death is never marred by the estrangement from reality of the generals...

That's why I mark Nov 11th - to recognize the tragedy of their needless deaths.
By our owners the death of a soldier is looked upon with no more remorse than by the soldiers is the departure from his rifle of a bullet. The soldier has one less round with which to fight, the owner has one less soldier to do his will.

The fact that a consciousness with aspirations and feelings, and people that mourn the loss of it, is as remote to the owners as the fact that the drivers side window of your vehicle is not covered by your insurance. The owner gets an oil well or a mine or a pipeline route, the thief gets your radio. The cost, in both instances, is born by some one else.

The young men believe the lies of the old men with power and are willing to give up their lives to make the liars more powerful.

actually... having been an armed combatant in this affront to humanity i would suggest the "cost" is right on me... and the rest of the duped...

That's because you are someone else.

You know your Floyd

It was just before dawn one miserable
Morning in black Forty-Four.
When the forward commander was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks as the other ranks
Held back the enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

Kinda makes you wonder why he hasn't released his College transcripts and applications. This man was never properly vetted, and we are seeing why vetting was cast aside by the Progressive media while the Conservative media was in fear of being called racist if they did their job.
