Bringing It All Back Home


The El Paso Times has news of an Army War College report which suggests that our current movie sequel we ourselves are starring in, Great Depression II, could lead to massive civil unrest, which in turn might necessitate regular Army troops being deployed to restore order.

"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities ... to defend basic domestic order and human security," the report said, in case of "unforeseen economic collapse," "pervasive public health emergencies," and "catastrophic natural and human disasters," among other possible crises.

The report also suggests the new (Barack Obama) administration could face a "strategic shock" within the first eight months in office.

Nobody wants to see the U.S. become an occupied country, but at least it would be one way to end the wars in the Mideast, and maybe all foreign wars for awhile. It would just be a matter of bringing the war home.
