Trump wants an expanded Military able to fight multiple wars at the same time

"We got two, three, four wars goin' on,
All I can do is sing this song..." - Times is Hard, Loudon Wainwright III, Songs for the New Depression (2009)

According to reporting in the Armytimes and MarineCorpstimes, Donald Trump wants an expanded military able to project military power in multiple theaters simultaneously.

Trump wants an active-duty Army with another 60,000 soldiers in the ranks, an unspecified number of additional sailors to man the 78 ships and submarines he intends to see built in coming years. He wants up to 12,000 more Marines to serve in infantry and tank battalions, and at least another 100 combat aircraft for the Air Force. 

Where is he going to get the extra Americans from? Right-Wingers love to talk up the military but shy away from actually joining and doing the work. Conservatives shirk duty at every opportunity.

But, during the Global War on Terror (GWoT) sometimes known as World War IV to Conservatives (Ronnie Raygun having won World War III against the Soviet Union by himself), Young Conservatives eschewed military service. During W(orst POTUS Ever) misadministration military Recruiters, under massive pressure to make quotas, were driven to signing up gangbangers and white supremacists to fill vacanies which conservatives were reluctant to fill. But, conservatives were more than willing to fight the battle on the homefront; Attacking liberals, defaming anti-war activists, and joining the couch-borne keyboard commandoes.

However, during the year-long 2016 Presidential Race, conservatives adopted a mealy-mouthed anti-war stance, which they really didn't believe. Right-Wingers and their media sychophants assured America that Trump hated Wars, especially Iraq. Of course, Iraq really was entirely the fault of HRC and her 30 year reign as Emperor of America. The vote totals probably indicate Trump's new found anti-Iraq War stance didn't sway anti-war people into Trump's camp but, it did afford ratfvckers like Glenn Greenwald and Jill Stein cover to go after HRC while minimalizing the world-wide danger represented by Donald Trump.

So, what we are seeing is a repeat of Reaganomics. Massive deficit spending on the military. Jobs creation focused on the military; more soldiers, more contractors, more non-military support staff.

Remember that for every soldier, airmen, sailor, or Marine in uniform you're talking at least 9 non-military personnel added.

Trump has promised to build a Marine Corps capable of simultaneously winning two wars. It would be based on 36 battalions, up from the current force structure of 24 active-duty infantry battalions, two active-duty tank battalions and supporting units. That means adding between 8,000 and 12,000 more Marines to the service’s roster, another potentially expensive personnel plus-up dependent on a significant influx of new funding.   Using the fiscal 2017 personnel costs as a base, that could total more than $1 billion per year just in personnel costs, before equipment and training are factored in. 

But, when coupled with the right-wing moronic lunatics Trump is proposing former Marine Corps General James Mattis for Secretary of Defense and General Mike Flynn for National Security Advisor it's time to realize the United States is about to enter two new wars in the Middle East; i.e. An invasion of Syria to unleash Trump's secret smarter than the generals plan to fight ISIS and a ramping up of tensions with Iran under the leadership of Warmonger Senators Tom Cotton and John McCain until Trump declares war to distract the American people.

So, as conservatives get their war back on, challenge them over and over to enlist and put their asses on the line instead just talking tough. But, get ready for Generation: Chicken Hawk 2.0.

ISIS and the Chicken Hawk Right-Wing Rush to send You to War (Updated)

The Terrorist Attacks in Paris weren't concluded before the Chicken Hawk Warmonger American Right-Wing Ghouls took to their keyboards and smart phones to celebrate.

Much like ISIS, conservatives see the Paris Attacks as a Victory. They have taken to their internet redoubts to clamour for another war. Conservative blogs, news sites and Facebook feeds are peppered with Right-Wing War Fanfic about murdering millions of muslims and liberals.

I eagerly await the rush of conservatives enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces to fight in the Syria. But,  I've been waiting for conservatives to enlist en masse in the Military for 14 years to fight, as they so often say, "the war of our time."

But, eventhough it's the War of Our Time according to Jeb Bush and legions of Conservative Keyboard Commandos, conservatives have absolutely been "leading it from behind". Conservatives comprise Generation Chicken Hawk, they are more than willing to Support the War Over Here while they send others to Fight the War Over There. Conservatives are always willing to sacrifice others to defend their values.

No less than Mike Huckabee gave a special dispensation to conservatives that's it's alright to agitate for war without serving,

"I might suggest to parents, I’d wait a couple of years until we get a new commander-in-chief that will once again believe ‘one nation under God'..." 

Of course, that doesn't explain why Conservatives fervently eschewed military service from 2001-2008.

ISIS, itself, is the Unholy Muslim love child of the Ronald Reagan's Cold War ignorance, W(orst President Ever) intelectual incuriosity, and Dick Cheney's rapacious appetitie for War Profittering.

Here are just a few of the minor Strategic Blunders by the Bush War Machine,

• Inviting Mongolia into the Operation Iraqi Liberation coalition without realizing that the Iraqi people still habor anger towards Mongols because the Mongol Horde burned down Baghdad and killed everyone there in 1258.
• Or say having the Paul Bremer led Coalition Provisional authority grant the Iraqis a 2-day weekend, because previously Iraqis were only given off one day a week, Friday. Now you're choices are Thursday and Saturday, and the CPA's choice? Saturday. Who else enjoys Saturday as a day of rest? The Jews. Predictably, Islamic Clerics took to their Mosques and declared the United States is trying to turn us into Jews and violence followed.
• Or say putting out a request for a new flag design to break with Saddam's Iraq and then choosing this one. Once again Imams reacted and declared the US was trying to turn Iraqis into Jews.

But, of course, the major blunder was the Iraq War, a war of choice, itself.

Bill Maher has again asked, "Why do they hate us?" and this question underlines the entire Strategic Failure, which causes us to continue to suffer defeats. We don't know why they hate us and we don't understand them thus,

One who does not know the enemy but know himself will sometimes be victorious, sometimes meet with defeat.- Sun Tzu, Art of War.

Because of the intelectual incuroristy of the Bush Regime. W(orst) surrounded himself with people who apparently believed the greatest threat facing the Nation was "State-Sponsored" Terrorism. Despite the repeated warnings of Richard Clarke and the CIA, those duplicitous conservative war criminals sought out Ahmed Chalabi who fed them as much tripe about Saddam as they could swallow.

Chalabi, much in way Ancient Satraps in the Middle East appealed to Roman Empire enticing them with the dream that it would be easy for them to overthrow the Tyrant in Mesopotamia and then install a new ruler favorable to their Empire, provided reams of fake information and false witnesses to support the delusions of W, the modern day Caligula, and his cabinent of cowardly conservative criminals.

Not, satisifed Chalabi's lies would sway the American People, the Republican Congress in 2002 invited another deposed Middle Eastern Potenate to extoll the virtues of War in Iraq. Bibi Netanyahu gave testimony which specifically linked Iraq to 911 and concluded,

"If you take out Saddam’s Regime, I guarantee you, that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Of course, W(orst)'s Fiasco in Iraq completely destabilized the reason, creating the void which ISIS has filled, while it killed a million innocent Iraqis, destroyed thousands of Americans Lives and ruined a hundred thousand American families, while transferring over $3 Trillion dollars into the hands of the American Criminal Rich.

The damage done to this Nation by George W(orst President Ever) Bush and his cadre of cowardly conservative criminals might never be undone.

Update:
Chicken Hawk and Possible Sleeper Terrorist Refugee Marco Rubio declared on Sunday the Republican Party sees the Paris Terrorist Attack as a "positive development" which his Party intends to use for "Political Advantage".

The Rich, their Republican Drones and Conservative Chicken Hawks want a New War in Iraq

"Tragically, all we’ve fought for in Iraq, all that 4,500 American lives were shed to gain, is on the cusp, potentially, of vanishing." - Mitt Romney 6/13/2014

                                         
The Big Loser Romney likes to talk all about War and Sacrifice but, those are for other Americans. Profiting off of the Iraq War that's what Romney and his ilk know.

Via Crooks and Liars comes a demand for More War in Iraq by Tyler Cowan, Chairman and General Director of the Koch-financed Mercatus Center, in order that the Koch Brothers and other Plutocrats may profit.

An additional explanation of slow growth is now receiving attention, however. It is the persistence and expectation of peace.

The world just hasn’t had that much warfare lately, at least not by historical standards. Some of the recent headlines about Iraq or South Sudan make our world sound like a very bloody place, but today’s casualties pale in light of the tens of millions of people killed in the two world wars in the first half of the 20th century. Even the Vietnam War had many more deaths than any recent war involving an affluent country.

Counterintuitive though it may sound, the greater peacefulness of the world may make the attainment of higher rates of economic growth less urgent and thus less likely. Rather, the very possibility of war focuses the attention of governments on getting some basic decisions right — whether investing in science or simply liberalizing the economy. Such focus ends up improving a nation’s longer-run prospects.

War is the Health of the State, especially when the Rich run the Government and profit mightily when the Poor are sent of to die. As Cowan points out it's just the poor dying so he doesn't care.

So, Mitt Romney continued at his at his Utah gathering, "I lost the election, but I will continue to fight." Now you have to understand that when Romney talks about fighting he doesn't mean himself or his sons. It means other, less Rich Americans.

• Mitt protested in favor of the War in Vietnam and the Draft, "served" Overseas in Paris, France instead of French Indochina. 

His five sons obviously inherited Romney's tough guy, We like to Talk the Talk but, we won't Walk the Walk,

"You know, I, ah, wanted to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him. But you know you can’t do that because, well, first there’s a lot of secret service agents between you and him…" - Tagg Romney, talked about wanting to Punch the President at the second debate in 2012.

Listening to the Romney's is like watching a beer muscle guy at the bar tell his friends to hold him back. He isn't going to fight but he sure wants to appear tough and strong! Tagg is a chicken hawk coward. Just like his father before him and just like his younger brothers,

• Combined Days of Military Service for Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben, and Craig Romney = 0

The 5 Romney "Boys" were born between 1970 and 1981. When their father is added in they have a combined total of Zero Days of Military Service. When asked in 2008 why his sons weren't serving in the military, Mitt stated his dandified sons were too important,

"One of the ways my sons are showing support for this nation is by trying to get me elected. Because they think I'll make a great President." 

Republicans and Conservatives are by and large Chicken Hawks. They will gladly pontificate about the necessity of War while seated on their expansive posteriors, but when it comes to taking the Oath and putting their ass in Danger? Well that's for other people.

Chris Matthews: "Would you like to enlist in this war [Iraq]?"
Jason Mattera: "No."
Matthews: "What kind of people should fight in this war, if not you?"
Mattera: "Those who want to."

See, as Mattera explains in the above linked video, the modern young conservatives are, "Fighting the War for Ideas". The Idea being that other Americans need to die to advance the Right-Wing Agenda of Oppression and Domination by the Rich.

But, it's clear why right-wingers are pushing for a new Iraq War. They will again make Big Money off of Death and Destruction.

George W(orst POTUS Ever) Bush used the Iraq War to funnel Trillions of dollars into the Bank Accounts of the Plutocracy, the super rich and Corporations. His base as he called them. It's another part of the Monstrous Crimes Bush perpetrated which we've lost sight of in recent years and which the American people need to be reminded about. W(orst POTUS Ever), his Republican Guard Dogs, right-wing drones and conservative chicken hawks engaged in a War Crime similar to the Genocide of Native Americans.

Now, President Obama has deployed 170 forces into Baghdad to support the US Embassy, in the old Green Zone. There are an additional 100 waiting in reserve. And apparently there was discussion of inserting Special Forces Operators into the New Iraqi Army to provide support and bolster their flagging morale. Sadly, this has the smell of advisors all over it.

Of course, I'm glad he did it before Republicans Benghazi'ed the President again. For you see Republicans have this nasty habit of undermining the Troops and underfunding security for Agencies and then blaming the President for their despicable misdeeds.

Nonetheless, all across the Conservative Sunday Morning Talk circuit, the Old Architects of the Iraq Debacle were trotted out yet again. Yet again we must watch as the Republican Party Drones and their Conservative Chicken Hawks are allowed to lie about Iraq.

Back to Iraq! Although Conservatives won't be going because they are Cowards

What Bush and the Republicans have done to the Economy, Veterans, and in Iraq are some of the Worst Crimes in US History. We've lost sight of that as the Conservative Media has made it their mission to gin up false scandals.

Thanks to the Lies and War Crimes of George W(orst POTUS Ever) Bush, Dick Deferment Cheney, Donald Rumsfled, Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, David Addington, John Yoo, Ari Fleschier, Dana Perino, Douglas Feith, Alberto Gonzales and so many others, The Middle East is now a cesspool of violence, destabilized Nations, with ethnic and religious violence exploding all across the region.

Now, the same warmongering war criminals who have done so much harm to the United States and the Middle East are clamoring for the military to be sent back into Iraq.

One good thing about sending the military back into Iraq is America will once again get to witness the spectacle of Cowardly Chicken Hawk Conservatives pounding upon their jiggily man-boobs while not enlisting and not going into the Combat Zone.

American Conservatives are biggest group of chicken shit cowards ever assembled in the history of humanity.

The current generation learned from Dick Cheney, Dick Armey, Karl Rove, John Ashcroft, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Tom Delay and so many others it was better to "fight" at home than to fight over there.

Conservatives love sending braver men into combat because with those men removed from the US conservatives finally have a chance at getting sex. Of course, women naturally eschew sleeping with Right-Wingers which is why Rape-publicans are always thinking and talking about Rape. Without Rape Right-Wingers would never have sex.

Call it Right-Wing Darwinism, the survival of the shittiest.

There's already a Generation of Conservatives tempered by their avoidance of Fire. Which was spectacularly captured by Max Blumenthal in Generation: Chickenhawk.

Ben Shapiro, Ben Ferguson, Jonah Goldberg, Jason Mattera, Matthew Continetti, Erick Erickson, James O'Keefe and so many other Young Conservatives and Tea Party Terrorists decided their talents were better suited in the rear than on the Tip of the Spear. Because conservatives are cowards.

So, if your blaming President Obama let's see your DD-214 (overseas days) and invite me to your local MEPS so I can watch you take the oath of enlistment.

But, now the Conservative Media is champing at the bit to get all the lying NeoCons, Ari Fleischer, Bill Kristol, Thomas Friedman, Charles Krauthammer, Judith Miller back on the air to talk about what a glorious success Iraq was until That One got into the White House and ruined everything.

So, don't worry the Conservative Media and the Republican Party will spend the precious little time not devoted to Benghazi/Bergdahl, pounding home the narrative that W(orst POTUS Ever) planted the Tree of Jeffersonian Democracy in Iraq only to have it pulled out by the roots by that Kenyan Marxist Traitor in the White House.

Unzip the Real Mitt, send Romney and his Clairvoyance to Crimea

"Well, you know, I guess we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out..." Ann Romney April 2012.

Since Conservatives love Putin why are they pushing for War with Russia?

Right-Wingers have been pining away waiting next to the red phone waiting for the 3am call from Vlad Putin, where he promises to ride into their lives, take command and be the Dom they've always wanted.

That's why they want war! When a sado-maschocist is denied their pleasure they lash out. Conservatives and Republicans are authoritarians who yearn to be treated like slaves and who yearn for the strong-man to tell them what to do.

Besides Rudy 9/11 Giuliani gushing over Putin's ability to tell his Parliament to get things done, Sarah Palin's longing for Putin to wrestle her down and drill for her oil as he does with bears, and Senators Bob Corker and Lindsey Graham petulantly stamping their feet that President Obama doesn't degrade them the way Putin would, we now have Emperor of Thwarted Aristocracy Mitt Vulture Romney chiming in.

"I think effective leaders typically are able to see the future to a certain degree, and are able to take actions to shape it in some way. That’s, of course, what this president has failed to do. And as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton as well. There’s always the potential that we could have kept them from invading a country and annexing it into their own." Vulture Mitt Romney on Face the Nation

Well, then Mister Romney why weren't you sharing your ability to see into the Future with the American People? And, more importantly why weren't you sharing it with the Ukrainian People?

Was your clairvoyance the reason you went to France instead of French-Indochina back in the sixties? Did your visions account for your five sons decision not to enlist or accept commissions and take part in the GWoT, the war in which conservatives said our very way of life was facing existential threat yet which they took no part in the actual fighting?

"One of the ways my sons are showing support for the nation is helping me get elected. Because they think I'd make a great President." Mitt Romney 2007

 As usual, from failed former Presidential Candidates to the conservatives who get paid to write despicable crap for the right-wing toxic commentary, all sorts of blame is thrown on President Obama with ZERO details of what the right-wingers would actually have done.

But, besides offering up nothing in terms of a real foreign policy, except Vulture Mitt's "potential", it's frightening to see the Domination/Subjugation Mindset which controls the American Conservative on display.
