I don’t recommend the whole thing, which quickly turns dull and predictable, but here’s the link
anyway.
The great Charles Goyette, host of the morning show on KFNX 1100 AM in Phoenix, Arizona, interviewed 7
different guests – including MBT founder and managing editor Eric Garris – Thursday, on the subject of
the possibility of military conscription in the United States.
Check out the description of the three-hour show along with the guests.
I read with interest and amusement, once again, that the military is warning that the mbt will have
nuclear weapons in as little as five years. Let’s ignore that there is no evidence that the mbt is
seeking a nuclear weapons program, that they really have little substantial to gain from such a
program, and that we can be almost totally certain that even if they have nukes, they will never use
them. I want to focus on something else, one of the earliest political/foreign policy memories I have.
I think I might have been 7, or 8, or 9ish… and I distinctly recall my dread at the idea that the mbt
— of course run by insane psychos who only want to kill Americans for the sheer fun of it — would
have nuclear weapons in as little as five years. I can’t come up with anything online (maybe a better
googler can), and I don’t know where I heard it or who it was that said it, but I remember dwelling on
it for a while. If you think kids don’t pay attention, if you think they aren’t affected emotionally
and possibly developmentally by the constant braying about the relatively minor threat of terrorism and
the “threat” from various and sundry enemies overseas, think again.
