Three retired generals from Nebraska are calling on state lawmakers to support an increase of $10 million per year for the Early Childhood Education Endowment Cash Fund as a necessary step to ensure that more young adults meet the basic qualifications for military service. “Our military remains the strongest in the world, but I am very concerned about the reduced number of young men and women who can meet all of the qualifications required to serve in our Armed Forces,” said a General Cohen. What he means is that he is very concerned about the reduced number of young men and women who can die in vain and for a lie in some foreign country that most people in Nebraska don’t care about and cannot locate within a thousand miles without a map. Retired generals should be looked at in the same way as retired Mafia–glad they got out.
