End the Draft

26/11/2019

 
http://www.riverasun.com/its-time-end-the-draft-once-and-for-all/

This is my comment to an article by Rivera Sun, a writer, a non-violence advocate, and a peace activist: 

The draft is nothing. The MIC actually gains more legitimacy with a "volunteer" army extravagantly paid by you the tax paying citizen, and legitimized by you, the democratic voter. Try instead to end the system that puts you in crushing debt to generate unlimited funds to pay without accountability for the uncountable unspeakable atrocities committed by your children, who will then be returned home in body bags, or still breathing but physically and spiritually broken to be promptly discarded by your society. If you attempt to take away the means of the warmongers to wage war, you will experience a rage and fury that you cannot imagine while singing Kumbaya. There will be blood. In my own story of awakening from my stupor, I find myself constantly repeating a terrible truth, "dying is easy; revolution is hard." But everyone needs to believe in something; I believe I'll have a beer.
