Self Appointed Globocop

WaPo today:

"Four years after the invasion of Iraq, the high and growing demand for U.S. troops there and in Afghanistan has left ground forces in the United States short of the training, personnel and equipment that would be vital to fight a major ground conflict elsewhere, senior U.S. military and government officials acknowledge.
More troubling, the officials say, is that it will take years for the Army and Marine Corps to recover from what some officials privately have called a "death spiral," in which the ever more rapid pace of war-zone rotations has consumed 40 percent of their total gear, wearied troops and left no time to train to fight anything other than the insurgencies now at hand.
The risk to the nation is serious and deepening, senior officers warn, because the U.S. military now lacks a large strategic reserve of ground troops ready to respond quickly and decisively to potential foreign crises..
"

The article goes on to wring it's hands over the fact that the US military is in desperate shape and is getting worse by the day, and it is with Deciderer's wanton adventures abroad. Tossing tens of thousands of additional soldiers into his escalation creep in Baghdad only intensified the crisis. The so called military friendly repubs are cheerily in the process of destroying our defensive capabilities, intentionally in my opinion, with desperate personnel and acute shortages of materiel. Sandstorm season is approaching in Iraq, try not to think about that.

It truly is a wonder to behold, how the criminal cabal is wasting everything across the board. Why, the cynical among us might even suggest that those criminals are next going to be rolling up their sleeves to dump even more money and resources into their enterprises because of the desperate situations they instigated, at our expense of course. Say it isn't so!

But what sticks out in the article are the comments of one General Pace. Now I think that he's a war criminal and bigot, but it's instructive to hear him blithely talk about how the machine views the world:

"You take a lap around the globe -- you could start any place: Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Venezuela, Colombia, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, North Korea, back around to Pakistan, and I probably missed a few. There's no dearth of challenges out there for our armed forces," Pace warned in his testimony. He said the nation faces increased risk because of shortfalls in troops, equipment and training."

No , Pace. The nation faces increased risk because of war mongering shitbag toadies such as yourself, making a career out of serving mass murdering scum who declared war on the entire world. Stooges like you make it happen; cover up artists like you are responsible for destroying the military and putting this country in terrible peril; lying hacks like you enable the fascists to get away with their vile agenda. You're an enforcer for the mob while they ruin the military as they go about forcing their twisted version of pax americana on the entire globe.
