Reaping Cannon Fodder

A very interesting theory. I think in past days when I was more cynical, such notions would not be so implausible. The timing of events IS interesting, but would one expect any future rises if a greater troop surge was required? In any case, I'm thinking it would have to be a longer term strategy as there would probably be a decent time lag between wage changes, the resulting job redundancies and prospective military applications/recruitments/training. Still, I'm not too sure any on the Right sharing this mindset would have any qualms raising the minimum wage to achieve the military objective.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
