This a breach of the American social contract: citizens in time of need are drafted (Vietnam, Korea, World War I & II) to serve in the military & fight the wars to ensure liberty at home and get to enjoy the blessing of the liberties they fought for in state of domestic tranquility: a house, car, wife, kids and living-wage job. In a word, the American dream. And something really worth fighting for…
My dad had it. On one income from IBM he raised three kids, paid off a 2,300 sq. ft. two story house in a nice South San Jose Neighborhood and earned a decent pension + 401K retirement plan. Now, he’d have to make $400K-$500K a year as a Technical Writer/Instructional Designer to afford the same middle class lifestyle. And, IBM doesn’t offer a pension plan anymore, not to mention that CEO-level salary for the average, high-performing worker. In a word, the California middle class dream is dead and it’s dying across America.
As you saw under the corrupt Biden Regime, the military couldn’t meet their recruitment needs as the population rebelled against the perpetual foreign wars, destruction of the military culture through Woke Marxist policies, followed by destitution and liberalism at home when servicemen got back from deployment.
The Liberal, ruling class elites have a solution to that: the Roman model. They’ll just import foreigners, hostile to Americans and our way of life, into the military and police. You saw this in a few Sanctuary Cities that let illegal aliens become cops and use force to police legal Americans and selectively enforce the laws the Liberal ruling elite wanted to emphasize.
Of course, when the barbarians simply walked into Rome and saw they were the mercenary army of force, they took over the reigns of power and the welfare Roman empire collapsed into a decadent pile of garbage on the trash heap of history.
All of this is tantamount to an overthrow of the American people…from within and without.
