Dwight, worried a little about the Industrial Military complex. He needn’t bother.

The wash-up of the latest American school massacre points to one thing.

The industrial military complex.

Didn’t Ike warn us about it? And the NRA is the principal proponent of suburbanising the notion of shooting things if you have a problem. And just shooting as a way to solve disputes. To settle scores. To negotiate amongst those you don’t understand. Because you dont WANT to understand their point of view.

In the 1960’s the world was convulsed as we saw poor young African Americans slaughtered in Vietnam. They were all conscripts, and it didn’t look nice. Now we have volunteers working in the armed forces, and every time a drone wipes out a village, or a wedding procession or a family picnic in Afghanistan, or Syria or anywhere, we tut tut and hope that at least one amongst them may have been a terrorist.

In the words of (Slim Pickens) “bombing sucks”.

But now who is on the frontline to protect freedom?

It aint grunts from the marines.

It aint those ol boys from the airborne cavalry.

And it aint the navy.

It’s those who work at home, to keep em rolling, those little soldiers of freedoms righteous destiny.

That’s it folks, it’s the school kids.

They die so that we protect the second ammendment.

They die so that we can feel safe about ourselves.

They die so that everyone at home can feel unsafe and feel the need for a fucking big GUN.

To do more KILLING.

Nup… An AK 47, another assault rifle, and a handful of recolvers to keep him SAFE!!!

And in GODS NAME to preserve FREEDOM.

Anyone for tennis?
