Seven Days in May but this time it works


Pentagon Won’t Echo Obama No-Nukes Pledge

 

 

 

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is starting work on a nuclear mission statement that envisions the U.S. maintaining its atomic weapons stockpile for the next five to 10 years, a far more cautious stance than than President Barack Obama’s dream of a nuclear-free future.

 

The “nuclear posture review” due early next year will focus on the practical and nearer-term goal of deterring the use and spread of weapons, Pentagon officials said Thursday. It is not likely to echo Obama’s pledge to work for “global zero,” or total eradication, as an explicit goal.

If anyone remembers the movie “Seven Days in May” it was about a plot by the military to take control of the federal government because the office of the president is held by a naive man who wants to totally disarm the US leaving us open to surprise attack. The plot is foiled in the movie. I say remake the movie and let the plot be successful. Then after the militray leader ”teaches” the appeasement peacniks how dangerous the world is, he steps down after rebuilding the military and calling an election to restore the Republic. The final scene is the leader in full military uniform heading off to Leavenworth for life, but knowing he has saved the Republic.

Ms. Napolitano, this is an imaginary movie idea don’t send the DHS brownshirts to get me :)

Seven Days in May was required reading

in my senior US Government class back in ’67. Along with Advice and Consent and Strangers on a Bridge. You can get through K-12 and college these days without reading that much.

Not the way to teach a lesson

What do we do if pople don’t learn their lesson and elect a new ZerO, like they have done in Pakistan? They may have to have another military coup to prevent Taliban takeover.
We have to remain a stable democratic republic with a voter revolution every 4 years. Every people get the government they deserve. We survived the Progressive agenda under American presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines Johnson.
We can survive Dear Leader ZerO. I hope.

Like I said just a movie idea not my personal philosophy n/t
