Went as a guest to a concert put on by the Air Force Concert Band. It was a good show. Sort of like the Boston Pops in uniform.
The show celebrated the end of World War II. It was well done, but when are we going to start having events that feature our glorious post-Big One military adventures. How come, instead of "In the Mood" and Andrews Sisters songs don't we have cultural celebrations of Korea, Vietnam, both Gulf wars, Afghanistan et al.
Can the Neutralist get support for a mini series, Grenada, that will sort of be like The Pacific or Band of Brothers?
Thought not.
There is not much to celebrate.
At the beginning, there were introductions. One of them was for the recruiter in case anyone might be interested during intermission or after the show. Noticing all the white hair and dearth of youth in the audience, her job yesterday was a forlorn quest.
Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.
