“If the money’s there for America to fight endless wars for Israel, you’d think the money would be there to take care of their own?”
— Blogger Serb
“The notion that foreign wars and entanglements are wrong still emanates from a sparsely populated philosophical quarter that has no majority presence in the academy of the government media-complex. It is a true voice in the wilderness. That voice has one signature message: you cannot thank veterans for your freedom because they have actively done nothing more than endanger its very existence. In fact, American military power abroad (and increasingly, at home) has made civilians tremendously more unsafe now than they have ever been. The threat not only emerges from aggrieved victims of American brutality abroad but a government desperate in bad times to ensure that not one dollar of military expenditures is reduced. … Veterans don’t need gratitude but a self-realization on their part that the machine they worked for was never an engine for liberty but a device whose single purpose was aggrandizement of American political power at home and abroad. And that political hammer always extinguishes liberty and never expands it.”

“They have erected a police state behind the facade of freedom. … If honoring veterans means perpetuating a cycle of endless war, we must stop. Better to honor the dead by abolishing wars.”

All I can do is nod in agreement. No room for a sarcastic remark anywhere.
Painful to keep silent sometimes ain’t it?
Over the years of my working career, I was able to visit many of he American cemeteries in France and Belgium in Europe as well as the one in Manila, Philippines.I was never able to keep a dry eye when looking at the wall of names of America’s finest young men that were sacrificed for the accumulation of massive amounts of wealth by a few dastardly men. .Tragically, for the past 40 years there has been a series of conflicts that have taken even more of our finest and for what reason no one can tell us. Although we know it as the Department of Defense, it hasn’t defended the country in the past 50 years. Instead they keep coming up with new schemes and oppression in the furthest parts of the globe for a number of unexplained reasons. This has to stop! It’s time to tell them “we aint goin” and mean it! God bless you warriors!
Beautifully stated, and would benefit those uniform worshiping ignorant people that still believe the military keeps us free. Heard from someone today that they were glad to hear of 100 seals that just graduated because this showed there are people that still want to keep this country free.
I set out to find an excellent article about this murdering gang to send them, but have not found one yet, but I know it’s out there. Will continue my search.
The illegal “military” only keeps the politicians and the other parasites “free”. To defraud, pillage and rape.
Absolutely, unchallenged!
Smedley Butler is STILL right.
War is a racket.
I’ll reserve compassion for the individual soldier. The victim. Caught in the evil of the tyrant. Drafted against his will, just trying to get through. However, for the rest, brainwashed by their society, to become ruthless, fervent participants, I have resentment.
Let’s not forget the people sucked into war against their will.
Also, let’s not forget those who just absolutely love war, and carry it out with vigor.
Somebody is making money…Hint: Halliburton and others?? Thank Smedley for telling the truth
