He explains his “drifting” as being AADD, and instead of
apologizing claims ADD afflicted are the original multi-taskers.
His interview got me “drifting”. For instance:
The last war we fought where there were rules of engagement
on both sides was WW II, unless you count the Korean War, which is generally
conceded to be a Police Action of the UN.
As someone who had a career in the Armed Forces I am acutely aware that
Rules of Engagement still exist with U.S. Forces: and they include the wearing
of uniforms, including rank and special indications for medical forces.

So, I think we should insist on a return of uniforms. In addition to making this easier and evening
out the fight, it would have the added advantage of creating jobs.
Someone would have to make them, right? And someone would have to design them. Someone would have to make the cloth, make
the dye, make the medals (you have to wear something on a uniform), and size
them. We have now resurrected several
occupations that are endangered in today’s service-oriented economy.
I have an old-world tailor who I jealously guard, making him
feel he needs only me to support him.
Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about a need for higher wages in
garment-making countries like Bangladesh.
Since cloth and even garments are made in areas away from conflict, we
would likely increase trade, and trade demands some sort of political
stability, so we might actually reduce conflicts by requiring uniforms.
I know what you are saying, “Who would enforce this and what
would be the penalty for non-compliance?”
While I have not completely figured that out, I do have some
initial thoughts:
·
Establish qualifications for a “Uniform Referee”,
one of which would be impartiality.
·
Make the occupation highly salaried, supported
by a required pool of any nations or groups currently in conflict.
·
Automatically disenfranchise any qualified
referee whose country or group enters into a conflict
·
Require approval of the Referee Association for
any uniform changes, empowering them to ensure contrast in style and color of
opposing forces.
While these are only preliminary suggestions, they would
serve as a springboard for a Social Media call to arms for the concept. A political decision would take too long and
become too burdensome. This is an Action
Plan made for the Millennial
Now where did I put my Twitter, Facebook, Plaxo and LinkedIn
addresses?
This year I think we had the nicest looking Christmas tree
ever. In my next Post I’ll share some of
my Christmas tree stories. I would
invite comments on some of yours.
