I wonder what would happen if the common soldiers everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE, on either side of the fights: Middle East, Georgia, anywhere the soldiers are told to fight, were to suddenly lay down their weapons and refuse to fight.
Would the leaders try to mow them down themselves? or try to force others to take their places? What would happen if people everywhere simply refused to fight, simply because some government suit told them that the other people were their enemy?
How long is it going to take before, we, the common citizens, realize that all we are, are puppets to be jerked around by jerks who have nothing better to do than lounge around with women who are not their wives, line their pockets with tax payers' money rather than use it for the common good of the people, and then run and hide when it all backfires on them like when the levees broke in LA, or before hundreds of our men and women died because their equipment is shoddy and second rate?
Sorry for the rant and blow, but I am getting sick a tired of the immaturity of the human race. We can either grow up and evolve or we will soon find ourselves going by way of the dinosaurs. And then our ape brothers would, indeed, have the last laugh on the great human race of high tech idiots.  |

Unfortunately, much of the equipment sent over are little more than toys: lot of hype, bells, and whistles, but no REAL strength and power. |
