The American war machine hoovers up 500 billion dollars per year of taxpayer money, has military bases in about 80 foreign countries, bombs some foreign country or other every two years or less, turns our Constitutional values into trash, increases the risk of terrorist retaliation, and may well destroy the planet before too long. Nonetheless, the system must have deep underlying vulnerabilities, since it is built on lies.
Military recruitment is the war machine's most apparent and immediate vulnerability because our youth, to their infinite credit, are not enlisting in anticipated numbers. This in spite of the huge efforts made to lure kids into enlistment. Recruiters stake out high schools, working class-oriented colleges, and youth events, employing all the techniques of aggressive salesmanship.
Suppose that military-aged people contact military recruiters, feign interest, and waste the recruiter's time. If enough people do that, would it not waste a significant number of recruiter man-hours and place additional strain on the war machine at its most vulnerable point?
