Watch the kids getting on and off the school buses. Watch your paper boy. Notice the young man sacking your groceries. You are looking at future soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardsmen. They will serve and some will fight and some will die and some will become POW's in wars not yet planned.

Think about it now, ahead of time. Under what flag do you think they will serve? The United States flag? Or the United Nations flag?

So what, you say? Here's why it matters. Because if you think the record of spineless American politicians is bad on the subject of getting American POW's home over the past 50 years, you ain't seen nuthin' yet! Just you wait until little Johnny, your paperboy, disappears into a Balkan or Middle Eastern or Chinese prison camp wearing a blue beret. Then see what good it does you to write to your "representative" at the U.N. and ask him/her to intervene. You don't elect them, you can't impeach them. There is no system of control over the looming one world government. (It is designed that way on purpose.)

When three American soldiers serving in the (illegal) United Nations deployment to Macedonia were captured by Serbian forces, the Pentagon and the White House were thrown into a quandary. How to classify them? They knew the authorization for the deployment had been cancelled months earlier by Red China. They were UN mercenaries, wearing baby-blue helmets, carrying U.N. ID cards, under the command of a foreign military officer. They were not acting in the capacity of American soldiers. After many hours of frantic back-peddling, the decree came (out of thin air, without any basis in law of any kind) that they were American POW's.

America, the Globo-Cop, bullied, bluffed and begged, and got those three soldiers home. But what if the Serbians had balked and insisted upon a hearing at the International Criminal Court? What if they had held them as hostages? Many countries in the world would have seen three Americans POW's as an opportunity to hold War Crimes Trials then and there. (It is to Serbia's credit that they let them go as quickly and painlessly as they did.)

This is why the rapidly growing veterans' organization, Rolling Thunder, has passed a resolution in support of Army Specialist Michael New, who was court-martialed for refusing to wear a United Nations uniform. And it's why the issue is not a moot question, it's an imperative question for every veteran. Under what flag do we want our children and our grandchildren to serve? Toward what interests are we willing to allow our children to sacrifice their own lives?

This is why the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars have passed national resolutions condemning the practice of forcing American troops to serve under foreign commanders, including United Nations..

A One World Government has been the goal of the Communist Internationale since 1848, and certainly since the Revolution of 1914-1917 in Russia. There has never been, nor is there now, any American interest in subjecting our citizens to a world government. There are only international interests to be served, and American soldiers will become cannon fodder, if we let this trend continue. You may rest assured that Gambia and Swaziland and Iran, etc, etc, have no inclination to come to their aid.

Ask your Senators. Ask your Representative. It really doesn't matter what they think of Michael New. What matters is what they intend to do to see to it that the next generation of American troops is protected by the Constitution that we each take an oath to serve and protect. This is why American Sovereignty is of interest to American veterans. If we deal with it now, perhaps Johnny won't have to face the fate of a mercenary against his will. If we don't, then apologize to Johnny next time you see him. He won't understand now, but maybe someday, sitting in a foreign POW cell, he'll remember your apology and understand. God forbid.
