More Joining American Military as Jobs Dwindle
As the number of jobs across the nation dwindles, more Americans are joining the military, lured by a steady paycheck, benefits and training.
The last fiscal year was a banner one for the military, with all active-duty and reserve forces meeting or exceeding their recruitment goals for the first time since 2004, the year that violence in Iraq intensified drastically, Pentagon officials said.

The class war, though it has always really been smouldering there within status quo society, in one form or another, is being rekindled back to full flame by events within capitalism everywhere; a reality that increasing numbers and sectors of the working class are going to be forced by circumstances to deal with as an unavoidable fact of life. (And those are young working class bodies being pressured by the circumstances of their lives into the military everywhere as well-, who over time may come, for many of them, to see their role and the war they will choose to fight, as something quite different than what the ruling class has planned for them. And not for the first time in history. Groups will need to be created in the near future, to encourage this process.)
What goes around, comes back around, and that goes for history too-, except never back to quite exactly the same place-, hopefully this time with a greater level of understanding and political maturity on the part of the masses and the warriors it raises up, as to what should be their real mission ambition within the times. We shall soon see what bitter harvest these ruling class times have created for us, and themselves.
For, at the very least, neither is the ruling class going to escape out of these times, entirely unscathed. Though they may fancy so. It may even be the end of them; that is the risk they always run in these kind of greed driven events.
Hope really does spring eternal.

It was the same in Imperial Rome, before the collapse.
I was reading "The Rise of the Fourth Reich", and regardless of the conjectures and conclusions the author may have drawn, what I find disturbing is how few people in the last 100 years have effectively directed the course of history, if not of the world, surely then of the western world...
Who controlled the central banks over the last 100 years?
