I mean nobody wants to re-institute the draft, amiright, Verne?

But endless war requires an equally endless supply of young Americans desperate enough to believe military recruiters' rosy promises and voluntarily sign up. (Recruiters do not share that 20% of the homeless in the U.S. are veterans.)

And always remember, and never forget, what's good for U.S. backed regime change is good for small businesses - like, well, well - body bag makers! Yeah! That's the ticket.

Oh, wait - unless they're made in China.
