Supporting the Troops While Opposing the War
War, what is it good for? The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq do not really seem to mean much until someone you know has to be deployed. We do not wake each day determined to dodge road side bombs or worried about disgruntled employees or clients blowing up the office; but in the countries we are occupying that’s the reality of war. The closest we get to the war is what we are allowed to see on television or what troops may share. For many Americans the war is something that is foreign (thank the troops for that) out of sight, therefore out of mind. That mentality changes when a loved one gets deployed.
I recently had a love one get deployed to fight TERROR in Afghanistan. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life. Knowing that my childhood hero would be placed in harm’s way to further the global dominance of the so called ELITE angers me. During the deployment ceremony local politicians spoke further propagating the over exaggeration of the threat to humanity in America and the lasted breaches in airport security, while knowing that this fiasco is for the benefit of the corporations and international bankers. If you do not know this I suggest that you read a book entitled “War is a Racket” by General Smedley Butler. Knowing about the deliberate creation of conflict throughout the world for the dominance of a few on the many makes it very hard to support these wars. At the same time I wish my loved one and his comrades all the success in the world. I know that success may come with causalities but I want my loved one to return in the same many in which he left. I am in full support of our troops. They are the most courageous people on the planet, especially with many of them knowing what these wars are all about. They still honor their oath and fight so that we may not have to.
When you think about it supporting the troops but opposing the war is like an oxymoron. Partly because all the things you oppose about war will be carried out by the troops you support. It’s like deploying your loved ones is a sick way in getting you to support the war. The soldiers’ success means that the corporatists’ and the international bankers’ agenda will be furthered. It is time for Americans to wake up and put pressure on these lobbyist funded politicians. Lets expose to everyone who is really behind this war on terror. I have been outspoken against the war before, but now they have taken a GIANT in my family and we must turn up the heat so that your GIANT will not be sent to war.
WAKE UP people the war on terror is an attempt to control the resources in so called under developed countries. If you control the resources you control the people. Just consider the frequency in the use of the term world governance by our political leaders. Also look at the latest restrictions on our freedoms here in America all for our national security. The war on terror is fought to gain more control over the melanated peoples’ resources in the East and in Africa. Wake up Americans wake up.
