Please, Don't Bring The Troops Home!
by Vince Daliessio
Many Americans now believe the war in Iraq was wrong, and the US should withdraw the troops. This sentiment is even gaining in the United States Congress;
Two weeks ago, the House of Representatives voted 300-128 to defeat a resolution that would have required the president to present a plan for withdrawal from Iraq, but a 122-79 majority of Democrats voted for it, along with five Republicans, including three who had supported the original decision to go to war.
In fact, Congress appears to be lagging behind the public on the issue. Some 72 percent of Democrats, 65 percent of independents, and 41 percent of Republicans say they favor a partial or complete withdrawal, according to the Gallup poll.
Indeed, public support appears to be growing for a complete withdrawal of all US forces abroad, and a return to a defensive military posture.
I used to agree with that sentiment. But I have come to understand something almost as scary as our current world invasion, namely having large numbers of our imperial troops return home to the US. Almost a million people, trained to do this, and this to civilians;
...and fine specimens like this returning to lead civilian police departments;
So no - don't bring the troops home! Instead, set them up in nice apartments right where they are, whether it be on the Italian Riviera, or Hawaii, and retire them right there, with full pensions, on the condition that they never, ever seek office, or work in law enforcement.
But please, don't bring them home.
