How to end the wars - the easy way.
Institute the draft - all rich, white Republican males cannot dodge the draft - they will have to be considered top priority. Middle class and lower will be the lowest priority.

2. Selective Service is there for a reason
and if the fuckhead decides to dodge the draft, he'll be arrested, and taken to Afghanistan to the front lines where he'll have to fight with a broken M16 and a badly underarmored Hummer with 1/8 tank of gas

7. Anal warts are no longer justification for deferral
and Daddy buying a slot in the National Guard won't help either. Most of the NG's are overseas now fighting the wars.

10. It's futile, they'd invent new shit. Those guys have teams daddy's of lawyers
and script writers just waiting to game that plan.

3. or war bonds?
No war if no funding. Pay to shoot. And only US citizens can buy them. (Corporate dummy persons excluded from killing real people.)

Gotta make it personal, and costly.

5. end the deficits
by cutting back on DoD funds. If there is no war machine there will be no war.

8. yes. The draft stopped so many wars in our history.

Its a good thing we had the draft, otherwise we would have be involved in Korea, Vietnam, WW II, WW I, Spanish American war, the civil war, war of 1812 and the revolutionary war.

oh wait.

9. Providing fodder in the meantime? No thanks.
I'd rather not make a point bathed in blood of the unwilling. This shit Congress wouldn't act fast enough to save anyone.

11. An even easier way to end our majorities for a few generations.
I mean I suppose we could douse puppies in gasoline and light them on fire on national television and see how voters feel about that too.

12. We'll never run out of mercenaries for all our Perma-Wars.

The Neo-cons figured it out decades ago.

I hate them.
