The stories about 71% of youth - Tin Foil Hat Time


May 21, 2019, 1:10 PM

not being able to join the service due to a myriad of issues is a really old story....5 years in fact. See the time article below from 2014. However it has been ALL OVER the news here lately. I see it on every channel I pass when bored on the hotel treadmill or listening to podcasts.

So is the media bringing this up and is the government pushing this right now because they want a story and ramp up for war with Iran and then all the fallout side conflicts that will occur? Any press is bad press, so are they pulling something on us here?

I am not sure I believe what I am typing, but seems plausible.

I like your funny words magic man


End subsidies for growing carbohydrates.

And change the food pyramid. Halve the carb recommendations, and double the fat.

Totally agree, but I guarantee the opiod epidemic is causing a lot of these issues.

My 15 and 18 year old sons would qualify, but I would take them to Canada if I ever thought there would be a draft to go fight for any conflict started by the current CIC...

As if going to Canada is easy. Their citizenship is pretty hard to get.

Although I have not looked at their draft dodger status.

OMG a bone spur epidemic....

But that too is old news .

Seriously to your point, not sure the lines have been drawn between the pro and anti Iran war sides. Would a conflict help or hurt the present administration? Conventional wisdom says help but that may no be true.

Their fat dumb butts would do if we had an all out war...

during good economic times. Back in the day they'd draft your butt if you could sign your name.

I think you may be on to something there Tigermanac. They don't put these stories out there for nothing.

Iran appears to be becoming a thing these days, and lets not forget about Venezuela. The Military Industrial Complex has an enormous amount of power in our politics.

There is a lot of money to be made in war.
