RENAME THE ARMY

On this sombre day remember the outcome of war; DESTRUCTION.

When FDR and Churchill received the offer from the German Resistance to hand Hitler over to them they refused. Why? Because they wanted the "utter destruction" of Germany. The outcome of this was the destruction of Europe and millions of dead Jews which lead to the creation of Israel and the state of the world today.

A report on Russia Today this morning looked at the result of the removal of Gaddafi in Libya. Remember Gaddafi had cooperated with us in the bogus Global War on Terror by giving MI6 and CIA names of al Qaeda in Libya, and participated in the rendition program. He also invested billions in the City of London. The RT report suggested that Britain spent less than a half billion dollars to remove, ie execute, Gaddafi, but the estimate of the cost of reconstructing Libya, after NATO killed untold numbers of innocent children, is about 300 billion dollars. And of course, having spent a half billion dollars to remove, ie execute, Gadaffi, Britain wants a large slice of that reconstruction pie. Ove Arup and Mott Macdonald were mentioned as getting in there.

So with the Army going through a huge change, why not simply reflect what the Army is. Instead of naming regiments after counties, name them after companies or corporations. For example, the Yorkshire Regiment could be renamed The BP Regiment. BP could then sponsor and subsidise that regiment by placing their logo on the uniform. Everyone's a winner! (except the dead and maimed infantry).

I'll leave you with this testimony by one of the greatest patriots who has ever lived, U.S. Marine Major General Smedley D. Butler.

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."
