Pentagon Mobilizes 'Reaction Force' While Ignoring Root Causes
According to The Hill, these units are designed to rapidly respond to domestic unrest. Conveniently, the article omits the rising public anger over endless wars, corporate greed, and politicians who consistently prioritize foreign conflicts over domestic needs. It’s almost as if addressing the symptoms is preferred to confronting the disease itself. One might wonder if these 'reaction forces' will
be deployed when citizens question how their tax dollars fund overseas military ventures while essential services at home crumble. Perhaps the best 'reaction force' would be a government actually responsive to its people, rather than deploying troops to manage the consequences of its own unpopular policies. A novel idea, we know.
