trump Taps Salesman To Run Military Draft
Late Monday night, when many Americans were in bed, President Donald Trump quietly announced his intention to nominate former Washington state senator Don Benton (R) to be director of the Selective Service System, which operates the nation’s military draft.
This was when the problems first came to light.
They started with a White House statement that lauded Benton’s environmental record, and the three years he spent leading the Environmental Services Department in Clark County, Washington.
From the White House:
During his tenure [Benton], reduced the cost of removing hazardous waste from the waste stream while doubling citizen participation and tripling the tonnage of hazardous waste removed. Mr. Benton was also responsible for Clark County certifying more Green Schools than in any other county in Washington State.
I have long predicted that further US military entanglement in other countries, in order to expropriate foreign resources to which the US government has utterly no moral right, would necessitate a return to the the draft in the US.
Unfortunately, it appears that my prediction was correct, and I see this happening sooner, rather than later.
And so of course, President Trump IS going to need a "good salesman" to "resell" the draft to the American people; otherwise, it will be met with national fury and contempt.
