" A 2004 Pentagon database listed the number of 16- and 17-year-olds who applied for active service enlistment at 69,000 and 18-year-olds at 73,000. By 19, the count had dropped to 49,000 and by age 24 had plummeted to 9,700." Bullshit. 18 is the minimum age. Applying for and being accepted are completely different subjects.

Attempting to join and being accepted are different subjects. The article glosses that huge gulf over in the typical progressive fashion. I agree the problems with rebel groups drafting 10 year old children as combat troops is serious. However the US military has strict guidelines regarding the requirements for recruits. The high school diploma requirement alone excludes underage recruits. Pardon my disgust with an obvious attempt at deception for political gain.

21st century socialism is the same as every other form of Marxism. It relies on populism, collectivism, and repression. It rewards the very few and consigns the rest to mediocrity, shortages, and stagnation. It denies economic realities and inevitably results in economic collapse and remains a dismal failure with every "new" implementation. "Also, you are sadly mistaken in believing a gaggle of wealthy oligarchs have any monopoly on technical knowledge. I’m afraid the only skill they really possess is how to manipulate markets to their own advantage." Doctors, lawyers, and engineers are the ones leaving Venezuela in droves LB. Hardly non-essential …

"They, like yourself, are simply conditioned to respond to the word ‘socialism’ with irrational fear and loathing. That, and their all consuming greed for not only great wealth, but unconditional power over the political process as well. Some, because they are afraid of being exposed for, and suffering the consequences of, their corruption and criminality. " Socialism is a failure. Escaping socialism is a shared experience wherever it raises its ugly head. As Venezuela loses thousands of highly skilled individuals it too will try to stop them. But like every other example Venezuelan marxism will fail as well.

Yes the facts are against Chavez..Thanks for admitting that. 1 Venezuelan Bolivar (VEB) = 0.0004652 US Dollar (USD) http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic Thats sad...Even before EL Diablo overthrew the elected government I remember way back in the 90's the bolivar was worth 300 to the dollar. So in effect Chavez has devalued his currency to the point it is not worth the paper it is printed on.....Much like 21st century socialism.

Seig Heil Mikey Lets evaluate racism and realism. Racism is discrimination based on the assumtion that some "races" are superior to others. Realism is a dispostion to deal with facts practically. I am not claiming superiority to haji. I am however assessing his behavior with a mutitude of personal, pictorial, and printed evidence. Haji's behavior is not acceptable and he will be punished until he returns to a quasi-human state. You on the other hand dislike all races. You claim white racial superiority. You claim personal superiority. You and the other historical denial dimwits on the Internet are racists.

Eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was the first sin. Questioning God was not the sin, the sin was disobedience. The questioning of God is a recurring theme in the Bible. Abraham debated God over the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Moses argued with God in the desert. Ezekiel, Elijah, Jeremiah, and even Jesus questioned God. So the argument that the Bible is designed to discourage the asking of questions is not valid. Do not confuse faith with religion. Religion is man made. Faith is not.

David I believe the fruit was forbidden because knowledge of good and evil implies a choice man is ill equipped to make. Adam was without this knowledge because he knew only God. With the introduction of Eve and the serpent, Adam was tempted with his first decision and chose disobedience. Disobedience was the first "sin" and the penalty for sin before Christ was physical death and spiritual exile from the presence of God. Having chosen disobedience in acquiring the knowledge of good and evil man would be undeserving in partaking of the Tree of Life. The interesting thing to note is …

Hijacked planes were diverted to some pissant country before 9-11 and some sand-jockey berated us over foreign policy and the passengers were freed eventually. No one really thought 19 hajis armed with boxcutters would crash fully loaded 767's into buildings. But after the fact you pansies want to complain. Where was your concern when Clinton was shredding the Defense Budget in the 90's? When the ANG and Air Force had …

Mike With every post your moronic rantings take on ever new levels of insanity. How can foreign fighters captured overseas and held offshore qualify for Constitutional protection. Chimpsky has no merit and your attempts to use him as a source are dull at best. Your "Holocaust revisionism" is racist bullshit. Why not visit an airport and find a returning " American military terrorist" and inform him or her of your opinion. After the swelling goes down and you leave the hospital perhaps you can get your medication refilled. LB Democratic societies are democratic because of martial values such as Honor, Duty, …

LB Quoting a racist, brain damaged white "libertarian"to support your arguments does not give you much credibility. Mencken was the epitome of white racist dogma. Your choice of reading material is revealing as well as revolting. I will have to rank you with blondemike as an racist dumbass.

Mencken was a racist. As such his work should be trashed. Chomsky is a racist. As such his work has no meaning. People who quote Mencken and Chomsky are either racist as well or use their quotes to assume the intellectual mantle without actually reading their garbage. From the various posts on ITT the levels of racism among progressives is suprising. I would rather deal with the most ignorant white trailer trash such as Mike, at least he has an excuse.

Mike Racism is as disgusting today as it was in Mencken's time. I prefer my bigots to at least be honest. Don't try to hide bigotry behind political rhetoric or attempt to pass it off as satire. Chimspky's involvement in the Faurisson affair showed the depths of his self hatred and bigotry to the world. Rational people regardless of political affiliation have discarded him and his rantings to the dustbin of history. The attempts at revising historical fact 60 years after the events transpired is ridiculous and only serves to honor the dogma of Nazi racial thought.

HL Mencken may have "given the KKK hell" but he was as dismissive of African-Americans as the Grand Kleagle. His views may have been tolerated at the time but with the passage of time should come wisdom. The problem is white America lacks any point of reference to understand racism. I have dealt with racist morons like mikey my entire life. I find them amusing now that I am beyond their limited ability to affect my life in any real manner. I do worry about the millions of "mud people" as mikey so delicately called us who don't have that luxury. …

McCarthy was right Maria, records have shown that many of the people he accused of Communist ties were shock and surprise Marxist sympathizers and agents. Marxism is a failed theory and as such needs to be expelled from civilized society. Perhaps the only solution is civil war. Armed conflict between bleeding hearts and "knuckle draggers". …

Costa Rica is a beautiful country Maria. Pacifism is fine for a small insignificant country such as yours. It will not work for America. We will defend ourselves whenever and wherever we see the need. Thats our sovereign right as a nation. The UN is a joke and unable to prevent or protect. As such America doesn't rely on words we prefer action.

The war of 1812 was ill conceived. However British troops landed in Washington and burned the White House not Canadians. The British attempted a frontal assault on American troops, French Pirates, and a few Mexicans barricaded behind cotton bales at New Orleans. With bright red coats to shoot at the British lost 2,037 men on the first assault.1262 wounded and 484 missing. The American losses were 13 dead 39 wounded and 19 missing. A good example of the futility of a direct assault on a prepared position Unknown to either side was the fact that the war was over. The treaty …

If oil was the only reason to have a presence in SouthWest Asia as the article insinuates. I would offer Mexico and Canda as the logical alternative. With a combined proven reserves of almost 200 billion barrels, combined with the US's proven reserves of 21.9 billion barrels Iraq would pale into a greasy spot on the garage floor. A common border, access to pipelines, better quality oil, and elimination of tankers are the benefits. North American crude is "light sweet crude" which is superior in both gasoline production as well as crackability. Middle Eastern oil is "heavy crude" which costs almost …

Oil is measured by specific gravity and sulfur content. The Persian Gulf's oilfields are slightly varied but the bulk is heavy and high in sulfur. To the average "man on the street" oil is oil. But in refining the higher specific gravity and lower sulfur content of light sweet crude mean a greater percentage of volatile products ( Gasoline), and easier refining to meet EPA sulfur standards. Tar sands are Bitumen, sand, clay, and water. While technically not crude oil they can be economically processed into gasoline with higher crude oil prices. It is used as asphalt for roads without any …

I was under the impression we were speaking of the Persian Gulf? Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, UAE? Israel borders the Mediterrean almost 1500 miles away. Iran has a loud bark but lacks any means of attacking Israel. The SCUD variants lack the range. While North Korea has sold the technology for its ICBM to Iran, its missle has serious problems and Iran lacks the know how to fix it. The Iranian Air Force is a joke and without tanker support cannot reach Israeli airspace. So your thesis David is baseless and illogical. (Quotes aside) Our presence in the Persian Gulf …

Actually David the article is specific to the Persian Gulf. The other countries are mentioned in passing as to the Free Trade Agreements proposed. The cut-off of oil would occur with Iran closing the Straits of Hormuz as was attempted in 1981 during the Iran-Iraq war. The Navy is in the Gulf to prevent this scenario from occuring. Iraq picked fights with every neighbor at least once. Israel would have considered the defunct Iraqi dictatorship a threat as any reasonable government would. But the greatest threat has always been Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. As none of these countries have oil reserves …

Chomsky is academic joke His "work" in linguistics is childish, ill conceived, and lacks any real functionality. To sum up 40 years of study he believes language skills are hardwired into the human brain. Despite countless studies across the Natural Sciences proving language is a learned skill. Chomsky's only useful contribution is the fleecing of left-wing morons into buying whatever ridiculous book he is selling. A cheap huckster profiting from selling what Lefties want to hear. No real surprise that Mike a racist half-wit soaks up the bile from Chomsky the head racist half wit.

Chomsky is a fraud. Not only are his ramblings inane but also easily debunked. His 100 best lies are debunked here. http://www.paulbogdanor.com/100chomskylies.pdf Every savory whopper with footnotes.

Here is another ass whipping done by bleeding heart liberals. http://www.belgraviadispatch.com/archives/003126.html Here is a spectacular debunking done by simply checking his source material against the actual information. http://oliverkamm.typepad.com/blog/2004/10/chomsky_and_dec.html Keep sending that money in.
