All of them have gamed the American Way by skirting, bending and/or breaking the rules. Their distinctive and savvy instinct was to have dodged the draft. They, thereby, avoided active combat duties and are alive and physically well to be superbly "parachute dropped" onto the seat of the Commander-in-Chief.
Obama was fortuitous enough to be in the age range that when he was an able-bodied young American male, there was no active American War ongoing. Judging from his narcissistic maneuverings, his dodge tactics would have outflanked the rest and probably put them to shame as well, in comparison. Sometimes, the world is deprived of a spectacular phenomenon through the throw of a dice.
Just like the Pope who is pharisaical in prescribing instructions on sexual activities and other pleasures, these Commander-in-Chiefs prescribe young, spirited and values-filled Americans to the War Theatres to face unspeakably diabolical situations these C-in-Cs have no idea of as they themselves had never been in active combat duties.
The horrors and unimaginable evil that these young men go through were then heavy-handedly suppressed, and as abetted by the silence of mainstream media.
These brutally squashed truths, like blood in fresh corpses, inevitably get splattered out as unconcealable statistics of 18 to 22 veterans suicides daily !
Watch the Winter Soldier testimony of Iraq Veteran Jon Michael Turner. The veterans in the audience cried. I went to my room out of my family's sight and cried. Not for America or Iraq, but for the whole of Humanity.
These crucial issues were not even touched upon in this 2016 elections. Except, maybe for the suicide statistics to justify better Veterans Care.
Students the world over of 101 American Politics should begin with the lessons here.
I pray China will never emulate or seek American Militaristic Ambitions. It will result in condemning its young and best hopes to such atrocious HORRORS and EVIL. Just be a Super Economic Power doing Good in the World, Mr Xi.
It's Friday, the 13th. Timely to reopen the can of American Horror Stories and pour the contents onto the 2016 Election Pulpits. No other issue can beat this one.
