RE: WHY….

….am I suddenly reminded of Robert A. Heinlein’s Starship Troopers.

Particularly the opening scenes of the high school ‘civics’ class taught by the one-armed veteran. Wherein he states….

This year in history, we talked about the failure of democracy. How the social scientists of the 21st Century brought our world to the brink of chaos. We talked about the veterans, how they took control and imposed the stability that has lasted for generations since.

Heh….

Heinlein wrote that novel in 1959.

How prescient can you get?

P.S. Well….maybe Heinlein’s associate was wrong in this instance…..
