The Interested Soldier

This is a airing of grievances, not an objective review

How do we feel it?

A Look Akance is right on with this one.

I don't know, if there is an answer to this one, if it is a.) make the war real at home, or b.) not have the war.

Generally, I'd be behind B, but I have issues of how to effect A. Certainly, if you have a war that's hemorrhaging five and half billion dollars a month there should be some spending restraints put in place, but seeing as resources are not scarce like they have been in prior wars, there really aren't a whole lot of things the average American can do to help (aside, of course, from stifling dissent: Freedom is on the march, and if you disagree you're helping the terrorists).

I think that resources are scarcer than we assume, actually. Gas, for instance, is actually pretty expensive, and is made more so by its massive consumption by the domestic market. However, this isn't a concern so long as we're willing to put up with buying a war with deficit; anything can seem reasonable as long as we have a surplus of credit.
