Advice from A Vet

The military-industrial complex has employed Mr. Anonymous for “almost 30 years,” he writes. And “the thing with the MIC is that very few skills are useful outside of it.”

Ergo, he has some “advice to young people about to enter the engineering workforce: stay away from the MIC.”

The diabolic choice confronting so many serfs now stares Mr. A in the face: submit to the Jab, possibly dying or severely injuring his health, or forfeit his job. But Mr. A is “too old to change & have too few working years left to give a damn.  I face the clot shot or be fired. They can sugarcoat it any way they want, but to be clear, the gravy train from the Pentagon & other federal agencies is way more important than your right to choose.”

Indeed. And why would we expect otherwise when the MIC is, to all intents and purposes, an integral part of fedgov? Worse, it is specifically devoted to inventing and implementing more efficient means of slaughter. Hard to expect even the beginnings of the most rudimentary virtues (compassion, respect, fairness) in such a field.

Ergo, the MIC does not tolerate “exemptions” or dissidents to its decrees. Mr. A enclosed an article discussing the suspension of one such rebel (he also explained that the “ULA” the piece mentions is “United Launch Alliance, i.e., a conglomeration between Lockheed Martin & Boeing. They’re completely dependent on the DoD, NASA, & other federal gov for existence.”)

He bitterly concludes, “I don’t know how anyone in the MIC (or any elected official) can say with a straight face they swore an oath to uphold & defend the Constitution. Nor can I see how anyone can sing the national anthem with a straight face.”

Somehow, I doubt the hypocrisy keeps these killers awake at night.
