The answer eludes no one, considering that love of country, not of Europe, is one of the primary reasons for enlistment. Americans are free to enter the military, but once they\u2019re in it, their freedom to exit is conditional. Servicemembers and slaves differ only in degree. When the oath they swore no longer aligns with the actions they\u2019re ordered to take, troops have no recourse, and the effects on morale are entirely predictable and, now, obviously destructive. If you hate your job but are legally prohibited from resigning, how might that affect your productivity? Worse, what if your boss is subject to political whims rather than market forces? The military&mdash;as with every other governmental organization&mdash;embodies that atrocious combination of demoralization, ineptitude, and unaccountability, and as evidenced by the record-high enlistment bonuses, the regime is struggling to delude the country\u2019s patriots into joining the military.<\/p>\n<p>Since March of 2020, independent thinkers have witnessed among their communities a never-before-seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolver.news\/2022\/01\/can-biden-reprogram-covid-hyptonized-npc-base\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">subservience<\/a>, and though the servility has somewhat subsided, an increasing number of partisans have unleashed their inner despot, delightedly dictating their neighbors\u2019 business instead of minding their own. If parentalists and paternalists reinforce each other, and if both groups comprise a <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/leaving-the-libertarians\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">majority<\/a> of the electorate, what do those in the military believe they\u2019re defending? And from whom? Chanting \u201cAmerican exceptionalism\u201d through a mask rings hollow. Yes, foreigners continue to flock here, but does striving for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/eluding-the-ratchet\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">least bad<\/a>\u201d sound like the American way?<\/p>\n<p>Members of the military have been coerced into vaccination against a virus that poses no <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/immunity-or-conformity\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">threat<\/a> to them, and they\u2019ve been told that complying with the muzzle mandate is an act of patriotism. Their religious exemptions were deemed meaningless, but they must continue training to \u201csupport and defend\u201d the 1st Amendment? H.L. Mencken <a href=\"https:\/\/store.mises.org\/Notes-on-Democracy-P472.aspx\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a> nearly a century ago, \u201cThe whole history of the country has been a history of melodramatic pursuits of horrendous monsters, most of them imaginary,\u201d and that\u2019s never been more obvious than it is today. Is that why military recruiters are failing to attract \u201ctalent\u201d? Are the monsters no longer sufficiently scary? If fear of the \u201cnovel\u201d virus follows fear of terrorist \u201csleeper cells,\u201d for how long will impoverished Russia continue to serve as the dutiful monster? <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Threats to liberty reside domestically. Vladimir Putin didn\u2019t lock down America; state and local politicians did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Patriots who\u2019ve considered joining the military have no doubt wondered why they\u2019d risk their life for the <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/patriotism-in-a-contemptible-country\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> if even the \u201cconservative\u201d Supreme Court doesn\u2019t respect it. And just as people don\u2019t need to be coerced into avoiding behaviors that might lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/op-ed\/horowitz-whistleblowers-share-dod-medical-data-that-blows-vaccine-safety-debate-wide-open\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hospitalization<\/a> or death, foreign countries don\u2019t need the U.S. military imposing \u201cour democracy\u201d on them. If it\u2019s such a great idea, it\u2019ll be readily adopted; force would be redundant.<\/p>\n<p>2020 must have been an incredibly awkward year for the regime, as it was likely the first time that many Americans questioned why they were thanking those in uniform for their \u201cservice.\u201d And throughout 2021, curiosity gave way to contempt. After being forced out of their job and into their home, \u201cnonessentials\u201d found it bizarre to continue reflexively <a href=\"https:\/\/freethepeople.org\/while-you-thank-me-bin-laden-thanks-you\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">thanking<\/a> veterans who force foreign nonessentials out of poverty and into their grave. How that corresponds to \u201cprotecting\u201d America has become increasingly difficult to articulate. To commemorate Veterans Day of 2020, I <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/sinister-state-secrets\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a> that Goethe\u2019s dictum&mdash;\u201cnone are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free\u201d&mdash;implies there are no soldiers more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are fighting the enemy. If I was fortunate to have your readership then, you might have dismissed that analogy as extreme, but can you deny it today? Who can claim with a straight face that servicemembers regard Russia as a legitimate threat to America?<\/p>\n<p>Sentimental Americans claim that servicemembers aren\u2019t political pawns, but they fail to define them. They are, indeed, political pawns, and if their deployment to <a href=\"https:\/\/freethepeople.org\/want-to-defend-your-country-dont-join-the-military\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Syria<\/a> didn\u2019t make that clear, then perhaps the current U.S. president&mdash;seemingly bored of his own unbridled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolver.news\/2022\/01\/height-of-arrogance-the-globalist-american-empire-risks-nuclear-war-with-russia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">arrogance<\/a>&mdash;will help more people see the farce that is provoking other countries in the name of defense. If \u201cwar is the <a href=\"https:\/\/mises.org\/library\/myth-national-defense-essays-theory-and-history-security-production-hans-hermann-hoppe\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">health<\/a> of the state,\u201d then why bother sending troops abroad when waging war on its own people is cheaper and comes with the added benefit of a servile populace and fawning corporations? The rally that occurred in D.C. on the 23rd was <a href=\"https:\/\/brownstone.org\/articles\/the-dc-rally-and-the-rise-of-the-resistance\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">inspiring<\/a>; however, the anti-corporate sentiment was odd to behold. Absent governmental mandates, those \u201cgreedy\u201d corporations are just powerless puppies. Economic <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5uNsP5oRij8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">growth<\/a> is the greatest ally of human longevity, so corporations&mdash;even the most insufferable among them&mdash;are a net positive. Growth is a consequence of liberty, so attacking corporations at a pro-liberty rally is self-defeating.<\/p>\n<p>Terrorism is privatized warfare. Warfare is nationalized terrorism. Characterize American interventionism in whichever way you please, but let\u2019s not kid ourselves. A Russian invasion of Ukraine worries Joe Biden &#038; Co., not the average Joe. As with the latest variant, there\u2019s no stopping the spread of irrational fear, so is it really that surprising that fewer and fewer Americans have any interest in \u201cserving\u201d? Democracy is revered only when its disciples get their way, and more and more people are realizing that the will of the majority&mdash;\u201cthe greater good\u201d&mdash;is a myth. No, voting on whom will be next to trample our natural rights doesn\u2019t warrant celebration. Enlistment bonuses might have to be given in tandem with endless \u201cbooster\u201d shots in order to entice patriots to defend such a demonstrable sham. If democracy were so great, we could\u2019ve voted out lockdowns, restrictions, and mandates. We could\u2019ve voted to end military adventurism long ago. As with COVID, Russia won\u2019t yield to the good intentions of America\u2019s parasitic caste, and it appears that those who\u2019ve considered joining the military have determined that neither is worth their time or attention.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/you-care-about-ukraine\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UncleNap.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Threats to liberty reside domestically.
