AMERICA'S NEVER ENDING GLOBAL WARS: A SOLUTION EXISTS.

ICHEOKU says the only reason America is constantly fighting wars and acting as a police man of the world is the American military industrial complex, their profiteering honchos and the pervasive mentality among the elites that it is other peoples children and relatives who are fighting, being killed and maimed in these mostly needless and endless wars. As is always the case, when somebody is not paying a levy, he or she usually does not mind nor care if the levy is unaffordable or outrageously so high, provided they are not required to pay it. This is the reason so many people, particularly those in the Congress, support engaging America in unending wars throughout the world and in every part of world, no matter how remote it is; regardless of how inconsequential it might be to the security interests and needs of the United States of America. 

ICHEOKU says it is about time, these wars, which are depleting America's resources, both monetary and human, ended; or at least be brought within reasonable affordability. America cannot continue to assume everybody's and every country's security responsibility, especially when it the American tax payers that are usually called upon to bear the brunt of paying for these wars. It is becoming unbearably too expensive and it is about time it ended; or at least those countries whose security interests and needs, necessitate those wars, are made to pay for them. If that means American military becoming a mercenary soldiers that go to fight other countries wars, so be it; but America should henceforth start choosing its wars more sensibly and as is strictly restricted to the security needs of the country. That America is always going to save these countries makes those countries not to invest in their own military and security needs, aware that  American military will always rush in to save them.

It is therefore disheartening to see the outrageous outcry by some people in the Washington DC power circle, following President Donald John Trump's latest order pulling American troops out of Syria; and you ask yourself what is behind this outcry. The answer is simple, these people who are shouting holy macro have neither their sons and daughters or relatives in the military, who are fighting, being killed and being maimed and whose families are left lonely and without them during holidays and festivities such as the Yuletide season. They are observing the holidays with their own families, while the military families are alone, separated and perpetually worrying about the safety of their wards in the front line. Some of these perpetual wars apologists are also beholden to the military industrial complex, with military contractors lobbying them without ceasing for their military contracts to keep on coming, regardless of the dire hardships which military families face, the loss of lives, life altering injuries and financial resources involved in these world wide military adventurism. 

A solution however exists and ICHEOKU strongly believes one that will be the magic silver bullet that will finally solve all these needless and unending global war, which America has somewhat made its past time. Every son and daughter born to any American parents should be required to do at least four years of service in the military, compulsorily and without any exception or waiver whatsoever; except on dire medical or proven sickness grounds, which will render such a person incapable of serving the fatherland. ICHEOKU says you can call it bring back the draft if you like, but it is about time America reinstated the compulsory military service and force every parent in America to put their skin in the game that is defending America; and watch this incessant needless wars come to an end. Other peoples children are being killed and being maimed; and families are in constant grieving, while many others have since broken apart, victims of the constant separation of families; while the beneficiaries of these wars are smiling to the banks and building nests for their own privileged sons and daughters and generations yet unborn, from their profiteering from all these wars. 

It is about time this skewed Americanism ended and every American should be made to equally contribute in the defense and security needs of America. Military service in America should be made a one cap fits all affair, and let every American share in the burden, pain, agony and joy that necessarily comes with serving in the military. That way, every American will be better placed to have a real and actual perspective of what is  involved in prosecuting wars. This will enable them appreciate the need to only order the military into wars when a real need arises and exists; and not just because there is money to be made and that war lobbyists want to make more money or that their lobbying foreign countries want their security need to be met. American military should only be deployed to protect America's interest and nothing more. Therefore, ICHEOKU supports the withdrawal of the American troops from Syria and urges more of such withdrawals, including from Afghanistan and other places where their presence is not necessarily needed. Enough of these endless, needless wars. as the cost in human lives and to the American treasury is increasingly becoming exorbitantly, too prohibitive.
