Wars and Rumors of WARS

My photograph was taken by my cousin, a week after I was released from the US Navy in the summer of 1972 to return to college.

I am considered a VIETNAM ERA VETERAN and used the GI Bill to pay for my last two years of college and the two years I attended graduate school.

Consequently, I have NO STUDENT LOAN DEBT...

Am I a Warhawk?

Do I believe in war?

The answer to both of those questions is NO...

I served my country, and I am glad that I did but only in retrospect because I enlisted in US Navy to avoid being drafted into the Army or Marines.

TODAY, we are on the verge of a global war even though many people firmly believe that the world is smart enough not to jump into a global war.

HOWEVER...

• Russia has invaded Ukraine and the war there is over a year old
• NATO countries are supporting Ukraine
• China, Iran, and North Korea are supporting Russia
• Hamas has invaded Israel and the war is over 6 months old
• Iran, Syria, and Lebanon are supporting Hamas and was to destroy all Jews
• China is about to invade Taiwan
• China/Russia war planes and navy have been seen around Alaska

HERE'S WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN

1. A global war would disrupt the global economy
2. A global war would cause global inflation
3. A global war would disrupt the flow of gasoline
4. A global war will destroy an enormous amount of global cities
5. A global war would substantially increase the use of military drones
6. A global war will kill thousands of lives
7. A global war would postpone going green
8. A global war would increase division in America
9. A global war would increase taxes to pay for the war machine
10. A global war would force the USA to refurbish its military

PROBLEM AREAS:

• Iran and North Korea are close to having nuclear weapons
• China has a bigger overall military than the USA
• The USA has the MOST nuclear weapons
• Will nuclear weapons be used?
• The USA may have to reinstate the DRAFT
• What about all the illegal immigrants in the USA?
• Education, Healthcare, & Employment will be disrupted
• Americans will begin to face shortages and rationing

 

At 76 years of age, a war will not affect me outside of not being able to get the cancer drugs that I need to postpone my death - some may think that I have lived long enough.

I have money saved which is a good thing and I carry NO DEBT which is also a good thing.  My lifestyle is simple so that will benefit me, and I am used to eating a simple diet of beans and veges, chicken and fish with no alcohol or cigarettes.  All of this will help.

BUT I KNOW, there are thousands of people who do not live like me and they will have a hard time adjusting.

I SHARE THIS WITH YOU SO THAT YOU MIGHT START THINKING ABOUT A PLAN SHOULD MY FEARS TURN INTO REALITY
