Chapter 1007: The End of the Prison Inmates

You should know that in the past few years, the U.S. military often defaulted on pensions, but now the military almost dares not do such a thing. Even if it has no money, it will find a way to pay the pensions as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple. Soldiers are now really risking their lives. The casualties in fighting aliens are too horrific. Now the military's actions are planned according to different targets. As long as they are dealing with aliens, the soldiers' subsidies and salaries must be fully increased.

If the news gets out that the military is withholding salaries or pensions this time, there will really be no one left to go to the battlefield.

However, Amanda is even more ruthless than some military leaders. She directly proposed to force the serious criminals in the prison to undergo training and to keep them for use in dealing with aliens. Of course, death row prisoners would be better, as they are all going to die anyway and should not be wasted easily.

……

At the Akron military base, Amanda is submitting new suggestions and prison management reports to the military leaders. The core issue is that she plans to incorporate death row inmates into the death squad and successfully utilize these lives.

"Amanda, your suggestion is feasible to a certain extent, but if the news gets out, it will be a huge blow to our country's reputation." Although a big shot in the U.S. military was somewhat tempted, he still had major concerns.

Amanda could actually understand this kind of thing. After all, what America has always liked to boast about the most is "democracy and freedom." However, if death row prisoners are directly incorporated into the army, it would be tantamount to forcibly turning these people into cannon fodder for the death squad, which is obviously contrary to the principles of democracy and freedom.

"Sir, please forgive me for being blunt, but the United States has 130 million active military personnel and 81 in the reserve. Of course, this is data from 10 years ago. After several wars in recent years, there are less than 70 active military personnel and less than 20 in the reserve. As for why the numbers have dropped so sharply, you should know the reason."

"Of course, this is not the point I'm talking about. The point is that our recruitment work is becoming increasingly difficult. No one is stupid. The death rate of soldiers has soared to dozens of times that of previous years. Recruiting soldiers is bound to be difficult. Even recruiting soldiers in the future will be a big problem. Has the high pension now put heavy pressure on the military?"

Amanda paused for a moment when she said this. She had to give these old guys some time to think - it was not that these old guys were brainless, but that these old guys were no longer willing to wake up from their previous beautiful dreams.

At that time, America was still the world's overlord, but now it has to look at the faces of aliens every day. Of course, recently a new alien has been added, the Atlanteans.

"Amanda, just tell us what you want to say. Don't keep us in suspense!" The military leaders knew that Amanda's words were not pleasant to hear, but the problems Amanda mentioned were real and they were also problems that the military urgently needed to deal with and solve.

"Like I said, it's time for the prisoners in American prisons to make some contributions to the country, especially those on death row. The crime rate is so high now, why not make full use of these death row prisoners? Of course, serious criminals can also be incorporated into the new army. We need death squads, and these criminals are the best free cannon fodder."

"This will cause a backlash in Congress and opposition from voters." It's not that military leaders have never thought about this idea, but no one dares to actually put it into practice.

"Let the injured soldiers and their families cry and report their injuries to the whole country. Then exaggerate the crimes of the death row prisoners. By comparing the two, believe me, everyone will soon accept that the death row prisoners have become cannon fodder. And give these death row prisoners a little hope. Death row prisoners who have experienced six wars can regain their freedom. Facing the inevitable death, even a high mortality rate on the battlefield is not an unacceptable problem."

Amanda had already thought of some vicious plans. As for the death row inmates in the prison, Amanda felt that there was no need to talk about human rights. They were about to die, so what human rights were there to talk about?

"If the military feels that this matter is too stressful, they can hand over the propaganda task to professional media packaging companies. Believe me, these guys will definitely be able to change everyone's opinion. After all, we now have 270 million people serving sentences, and the number of criminals is even greater than that of the military. Why not let these damn guys make due contributions?"

Amanda's impassioned speech still moved the military leaders. Since they had already used death row prisoners as cannon fodder, how could they possibly provide these guys with pensions? Military expenditures could also be saved a lot, and even the usual salaries wouldn't have to be paid.

You are a prisoner, how can a prisoner pay you (please don't compare it with Eastern countries, where prison labor is also paid, although not much)? A Remington bullet is more like a reward.

It can be said that once this loophole is successfully opened, the pressure on the military will be much less in the future, and a lot of funds can be saved.

"Amanda, I'll leave this matter to you, can you handle it?" The boss would not deal with it himself even if he was tempted. Of course, such offensive matters should be left to Amanda to handle.

"That's fine, but I need the corresponding authority and funding approval. Of course, the benefits and savings I can bring will definitely far exceed the funds I spend."

"Okay, I'll have someone liaise with you on the detailed details." The military boss agreed, and Amanda also got permission. With the authority, Amanda will be able to perform more cool operations.

The prisoners in the prison don't know yet that they have been betrayed by the U.S. military. In the future, serious criminals and death row prisoners will be the first choices to be cannon fodder. Of course, this is a story for later.

After Amanda got the authorization, she planned to make great plans. Sympathy for the prisoners? Please, Amanda never had sympathy for such things, let alone those scum in the prison.

This tone was set when Amanda first organized a suicide squad from prison, not to mention that America has suffered round after round of blows and its national strength has been declining again and again.

But the more times like this, the more extraordinary measures must be taken. Amanda likes the feeling of being in control.

"The second consultation with the Atlanteans will be held in three days. You will be the full representative for this consultation. If you handle this matter well, you can get more of what you want. Amanda, don't let me down."

After the military leader finished speaking, he left without staying any longer.
