Oops, I'll try that again.

Why is the oil located where the a-holes rule?

Obviously oil causes a-holes. Not as facicous as it might appear. Countries with a single or a very few, but valuable natural resource often get "spoiled" by the revenue generated by that resource, and never really develope their economies properly. Thus they are full of the very rich, and the very poor, which in turn fuels demagogery, like that of Chavez.

Add in the Religious fanatisim of the Whabbie movement and it's Shiite equivalent, and you get giant sized a-holes.

Those over the age of 18 have to serve a 2,5-year military service in the country, which has a population of 25 million.




Conscription is inefficient.

I sometimes wonder if he is really just an edgy stand-up comic becuase his pronouncements are usually funny in a crackhead sort of way.

I bet he is funnier than a few highly paid comedians we know... as long as you keep him far away from me.

$ 2 Billion Dollar Budget? Thats like $1,000.00 per Volunteer. C'mon how's that a threat. The best they can arm these guys is the cheapest hand gun in the world (Found at your local Dollar Store) and perhaps a Hockey Helmet, Jock Strap and a Army Uniform. I doubt they could add a walkie-talkie. (Perhaps a Dollar Store kind). Nows that just for equipment. Well maybe China is financing this, I mean they have a military budget that goes into the $32 B US range, Which can possibly be as high as $90 B US. They on the other hand if they where doing the same we would take that seriously, Where talking $16,000.00 a head, Enough to maintain them and arm them.

If We can get him to make all civilians part of the army we wont have to worry about collateral damage or insurgents just terminate all with prejudice.

This citizen is getting sick and tired of being threatened by every little idiot dictator in the world.
There are plenty of us in this country that know how to shoot and how to fight and plenty of ex-military people who know how to lead. If they want to pick a fight with us, they should shut up and bring it on.

voluntary = unemployed anyway

I would like to see if this new army reduces the unemployed in the country's employment statistics.
