Hahahaha…. brilliant!

“Military iPods will “display aerial video from drones and have teleconferences with intelligence agents halfway across the globe.” We civilians are still waiting for copy and paste.”

It was from Nick Turse where I first encountered the phrase “military-industrial-entertainment-complex”, which seems appropriate here. There seems an insatiable desire to transform technological advances, in order to serve nefarious purposes. Popular video games are not only money makers, but very effective recruitment tools. Call in an air strike, via the cell phone, is of course already happening.

Sure! Give it to those inclined towards depravity, who weaponize each and every thought that bubbles to the surface of those tiny gray cells.

Thanks…..Steve Jobs!

When money is valorized, the work certainly is degraded!

Peace, Best Wishes and Hope

THE GREAT WAR TO LEAVE NO MILITARY CONTRACTOR BEHIND

IPHONE - PSYCHO IS AS PSYCHO DOES
The army has been actively recruiting felons, gang members and racists (future Tim McVeighs?) in the absence of any non-make-believe reason for their War To Leave No Military Contractor Behind.

AFGHAN WAR ON WEDDING PARTIES
That, with the fact that many do not have even a high school diploma, makes one wonder if the result of giving them iPhones will just be the Afghan War on Wedding Parties on steroids.

It has already been reported that teenagers in the military who have never left the US—trained at the Defence Language School in Monterey, CA—were used to listen in on satellite phone calls from the region and decide who to drop bombs and missiles on, based on dialects of the local languages that they couldn’t understand. Yet another Neocon fubar snafu. One of so many.

With care and consideration like that is it any wonder that Afghan civilians have come to support the Taliban and that Europe refuses to send combat troops?

The US’s Neocon stooge—French poodle Sarkozy came up with a few hundred more police, purely to train the Afghan police. And he was the bright spot in the US’s utter failure to in get the European suckers to line up more of their men and women to be killed for the Great War to Leave No Military Contractor Behind.

It used to be said that the function of the UK’s contribution to the US’s War in Iraq was to provide dead bodies to make the sacrifice a shared one. It seems that the soldiers became tired of that trick. And the British government has been forced to decide to withdraw their ‘suckers’. Much to the relief of the ‘common soldiery.’

More dead people brought to you by ‘Biggus Dickus’ (Cheney). Five deferments. Why didn’t you serve? “I had other plans.” Plans just like the 4,000 US servicemen and woman and the 1.4 million Iraqi children, women and men. Who can’t tell us _their_ plans. Because they are unfortunately now dead.

Gee. Thanks Neocons.
