Indeed -a old Trots kite, that would turn someones head to blow up - if they had known, that a old communist was behind the neo-conservative ideology - and I know about the issue between Trotsky, and Stalin.. In the end it was Stalin that won - as Trotsky was discovered with an ice pick in his head... He was in fact living in Norway for a while in 1939-1940, but was traveling to Mexico where he was killed by NKVD on order from Stalin itself.. He and Trotsky had a fallout many years before - where Trotsky who had been on the front with Lenin - Stalin on the other hand, had not that privilege - for the most part - before and under the revolution he had been just one of many minor "officials" who also have had a checkered past with the old regime.. Stalin had been arrested for bank thefts more than once to financed the revolutionary movement - and even when he was on his highest power - in 1936, and was wisting his old mother - she have been known to have stated - that she would have been more proud about him, if he had been a priest in the Orthodox Church - rather than the supreme leader of the Soviet Union... She was not to impressed about the whole affair..
It is somewhat of a irony if the neo-conservative movement for the most part is the result of a trotsky movement against Stalin, in the 1930s and 1940s - I guess a old man I know - who is a hard line Republican - and have more than once public speaking about the greatness of neo-conservative - and have even tried his best to tell me how great the neo-conservative movement really are - would have exploded if he had known - that the neo-conservative movement was indeed the product of old troskites who survived the purge in Soviet - or was able to leave for better places..
I wonder why the media are not put William kristol in the spot - and ask why his old father - was making up a movement of neo-conservatism - when he himself was as a old Trotsky supporter - and never denounced his belief in Socialism himself.. I guess William would have exploded in more than one way if that had been known for a larger audience.. Not to say many of the conservatives who have followed the neo-conservative path - would have turned its back on the whole movement...
After the cold war ended - it might not be the same use of a million strong army - and the cuts Clinton really managed to do - did a lot to freeze up a lot of money that could be used elsewhere - but many have blamed Clinton because he cut to deep - and cut on the wrong parts... And he got most of the blame - many conservatives have blamed Clinton for most things happening - even after he was not longer in Power to be honest.. And they have used terms to express their hatred for Clinton that is at best insulting - at worst something that should have put them in a prison...
Experienced teachers is important - that be in civilian use - or in a military capacity - and NCO and training officers is important to the well-being on all type of military service.. At least, that is what I have been tough..
