It's all you hear anymore. Bring our boys home! End the war...Or at least, our involvement in the war in Iraq. Well, I have had a lot of time to ruminate on things that I don't normally spend much time considering, and that's politics. Because, there wouldn't be this dialog/debate going on if it weren't a political issue. No one likes to admit it, but we all know that it shouldn't even be a subject open for debate. America is defending freedom. Period. Case closed. End of discussion. But a lot of folks are getting a lot of political mileage out of Bashing Bushie Baby, and "His War". Bull-Roar! It's not his war, it is the war of every right thinking American! So anyway, I have spent a lot of time in bed, watching television in the hospital,and it's been the same thing, over and over. The war, the field running for 2008, and of course, sports. Ad nauseum.Thank the Lord for Paris Hilton. If it hadn't been for that poor little rich girl,and her two-penny opera, I would have gone stark- staring-out-of-my-mind. But now, she is out of jail, and gone back to doing whatever it is she does, and we are back to being treated to the the crap that the idiot legislators are blithering about,and seeing how all those rich "game-players", the athletes are doing. When all at once, it hit me, right between the eyes. We are a nation rich in top athletes,who are well fed, at the peak of physical condition. They are well toned, young, strong, and healthy,and have been well paid, to do nothing more than continue to exercise and train, so they can go out and be fast and strong on some sort of field of sport! And, there are thousands of them! Why shouldn't they be pressed into the service of their country? The games be hanged! This is serious business! They already know how to fight, they prove that all the time! They are tough,and most of them are spoiling for a bit of fisticuffs most of the time! Why not give them a whack at it? They would not need much training, just show them how to use a gun,and they're ready!
If you think about it, we have had the resources to have a standing army all along, and any ball-club unwilling to offer their services should be booed off the field for being a pack of unAmerican Cowards! And, the possibilities are limitless! Not only Baseball players, but Basketball. Football! Boxers! Wrestlers!Olympic Athletes! We've got the manpower! Why aren't they clamoring to fight where it's really needed? They have been paid enough! Why aren't they standing up now, to earn all that money?
OUI?
