Hey Consul General, give Putin the letter!

 

Working together, Prime Minister Putin and President Obama recently saved Syria and the world from a great deal of pain and suffering.   With a joint American Russian Peace Corps that I am suggesting here, Prime Minister Putin and President Obama could leapfrog many of today's intractable problems and dramatically improve the world.   The link below to an OpEd suggests how these two men could dramatically reduce terrorism, poverty, and hatreds in the world.   See Obama and Putin Play Newman.  

 

2.      Can I speak to you or one of your staff members about this joint Peace Corps proposal?

The joint Russia American Peace Corps that I outlined above is part of a larger initiative for America and other nations to form their own robust World Service Corps to address the myriad of problems facing today's world.   I would value your input and support of our America's World Service Corps (AWSC) Congressional Proposal.   More information available at www.WorldServiceCorps.us. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.   Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Based on President Obama's many speeches regarding service and volunteerism, as well as his early campaign for a robust American World Service Corps support letter, I'm confident that with a functional, visionary Congress pushing such legislation, Obama would put both an American Russian Peace Corps as well as an America's World Service Corps (AWSC) into action.   Not only is the AWSC the good and ethical policy to pursue, but it is financially prudent too.

 

According to the Congressional Research Service we taxpayers spent $623 billion (adjusted for inflation), fielding 9,087,000 active-duty military personnel during the Vietnam era (5 August 1965 to 7 May 1975).   In that Vietnam era, each military service person cost our taxpayers $68,559 to maim and kill little, friendly, brown people in a propagandized, useless, trumped-up war.   That's $623,000,000,000 that could have gone to rebuilding our educational system, infrastructure, manufacturing base, health-care system, space program, ship building, clean-energy programs, etc., right about the time we started falling behind the world in all those areas.

 

Just before Vietnam blew up, JFK started building the army that he preferred sending into the world instead of the Marine Corps.   In 1961 he aptly named it the Peace Corps, telling its first Deputy Director Harris Wofford that he wanted it to grow quickly to 100,000 a year.   "It would then be considered serious," he said.
