High School Soldiers

They Won't Go

By BOB HERBERT

Published: June 13, 2005

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/13/opinion/13herbert.html?th&emc=th

 

George W. Bush is in no danger of being ranked among the nation's pre-eminent commanders in chief. Not only has he been unable thus far to win the war in Iraq, but on his watch significant sectors of the proud U.S. military have been rapidly deteriorating. Recruiters with the gift of gab go into the schools with a glamorous pitch, bags full of goodies for the kids (T-shirts, donuts, key chains) and a litany of promises they often can't keep. It's highly questionable whether most high school kids are equipped to make an informed decision about joining the military, which is exactly why they're targeted. The additional knowledge and maturity gained in the first few years after high school make it easier for a young man or woman to make a wiser, more meaningful choice, pro or con.

 

(A soldier's job is to kill. I can still hear the drill sergeants in basic training screaming at us decades ago: "What are you? What are you?" And we'd scream back: "Killers! Killers!" And the sergeants would say, "What is your purpose?" And we would shout: "To kill! To kill!")

THE Patriot Act - brilliant! Its critics would have preferred a less stirring title, perhaps something along the lines of the Enhanced Snooping, Library and Hospital Database Seizure Act. But then who, even right after 9/11, would have voted for that? The Patriot Act, however, may turn out to be among the lesser threats to our individual and collective privacy.

Unabashed Greed in the House

Published: June 13, 2005, NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/13/opinion/13mon2.html?th&emc=th 

 

For most Americans, the influence on the last election of unregulated partisan groups with huge advertising budgets was evidence that campaign finance reform has not gone far enough. But not for a group of brazen House Republicans who are trying to gut 30 years of checks on campaign spending and allow fat-cat donors to once more write six-figure checks to candidates. A shameful bill that would undo much of the post-Watergate reforms is being rushed to the House floor. It would scrap a donor's current limit of $40,000 for candidates across a two-year cycle and let him give $2 million or more. Further, the bill would attack the more recent McCain-Feingold campaign controls by letting the national parties wheel and deal in unlimited amounts in supporting favored candidates.

And now back to Rick Santorum

Local concerns distracted us for a while, but now it is time to turn back to Rick Santorum and the projected matchup with the sacrificial Republicrat Bob Casey Jr. Who is Rick, but with Labor backing. On the plus side, Jr. has a much less offensive personality. So will mediocrity and name recognition carry the Keystone Senate Race, or will the intolerant shrew triumph yet again?

Pittsburgh Sinking

Well, the future of Pittsburgh is bleak. Old Man Bob is poised to become Mayor. Our only hope is a man named Joe.
