Iraq: “This war is about money. The money is only making the rich man richer.â€
I am a manipulated stooge who sold his soul to exploit the ignorant with the proud lies our own leaders.
I am told on a regular basis “The Army is not like it used to be.†Most of the lifers think that the military lacks discipline and blame the new “Nintendo generation†soldiers for the weakness.
However, I think a hard look should be given at the uses of America’s advanced military in the modern era. Due to the operations the military has been tasked in the last forty years, the nobility of the professional soldier has been destroyed.
From Vietnam to Iraq the Armed Forces has been a chess piece in a game for money and power by elite Americans. Back in the world wars the military represented every citizen’s will. Today the people are duped with lies and phony values to support imperial progress.
Weapons of mass destruction, links to the two towers tragedy, and the ousting of an oppressive dictatorship are all bait for a revenge hungry over-patriotic American.
A very powerful article written by an American soldier in Iraq, it really does make powerful reading.
