Contract: everyone will work for the government and the government will provide everything required. Good contract until exercised in practice. It was called communism.

Contacts alone don't make things right or make things work. Communism failed because the contract was defective in principle.

All unions have contract with their employeers. But which unions are productive? The ones who work for honest and fair employers. Employers who really want to be productive as opposed to employers who only have self serving agendas.

Same applies to soldiers. No contract can nor should ever be expected to make good soldiers. Good soldiers require honest, responsbile and intelligent top management. When top management lies (as Nixon did repeatedly), it eventually results in bad soldiers as happened in VietNam. There was nothing wrong with the American soldier in Vietnam - other than who they were working for.

The American soldier won virtually every battle in Vietnam. But the war was lost because the liar was back in Washington undermining anything those soldiers might accomplish. And so we say 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.

Anyone who would vote for George Jr would only vote to undermine the American soldier. Too many more years of outright lies and deception by the current administration can only result in more Vietnams. The American soldier does not deserve that.
