BLUE HELMETS ON A COUPLE OF DIVISIONS AND MAKE THEM PERMENANT UNDER C
AND C PEACEKEEPERS-TO PAY OFF UN BILLS!
LOL-you better count the total number of US divisions available before
jus assigning a couple to fulltime UN duties!
LOL- i think that the vast majority of US voters, as well as US THE
SOLDIERS you are volunteering might needs be consulted here!
not too many soldiers i know are happy about going to UN sponsored
crapholes to be used as scarecrows and walking targets.
better yet, why not allow active duty and qualified reservists of the
security council membership armed forces to volunteer for tours of
duty with the full time UN PEACEKEEPING FORCES?
standardized enlistments, ranks, pay, privilages, housing, medical
/dental care retirement benefits, logistical support and UN chain of
command.
a small UN PEACEKEEPER FORCE (ground forces, airforces, and naval
forces) raised and payed for by the UN for duty as the military arm of
the UN security council would be fine with me.
UN PEACEKEEPING FORCES, due to size restraints would only be deployed
where they were very necessary, not just at the hotspot of the moment as
defined by politicians from various countries WHO NEVER PUT THEIR OWN
ASSES ON THE LINE at the crisis spot!
the only military folks serving under the UN banner would be volunteers
(FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE FORCE), and not volunteers of some national
armed forces who enlisted to serve their own country and have no desire
to serve the UN, or under a UN chain of command.
