<br>Yeah, I guess it's the thing to do; maybe part of that whole
soccer-mom
<br>culture. Unfortunately, the only thing they demonstrate is that the
person
<br>behind the wheel is a clueless, gullible, misguided, nitwit.
<p>If foreign invaders landed on our soil, as we have done in Iraq, I
would
be
<br>the first one to take up arms and repel them. (I suppose that would
make me
<br>an 'insurgent' by OUR logic.) This, and other aggressive governments
have
<br>always done their utmost to make it APPEAR as if committing yourself
to kill
<br>in feuds on distant shores that have nothing to do with the welfare
of the
<br>citizenry is somehow patriotic.
<p>It is not.
<p>Enlisting in the armed forces, in the absence of a real and impending
<br>foreign threat, is no different that hiring yourself as a paid
assassin
.. .
<br>the only difference is, you're not getting paid enough. But let's take
a
<br>realistic look at exactly WHO joins up in an all-volunteer army.
<p>The first group are those who join (during peacetime) for the benefits:
to
<br>get an education, or because it seems a reasonable career path.
Consider
<br>carefully! Realize that you are gambling with your humanity. Once you
sign
<br>that form, you sign away your right to say: "No, that is an atrocity."
You
<br>put your abilities, including the ability to kill, at the disposal
of proven
<br>liars, psychopaths . . . enemies of humanity. Do you think that every
German
<br>soldier in World War II who helped load Jews into cattle cars was a
<br>cold-blooded killer? Most were poor kids, just like you, who got
caught
up
<br>in the patriotic frenzy. Once you're in, you're IN. You lose the
ability
to
<br>stop killing until they tell you so. This not only makes you less than
<br>human, it makes you less than an animal, for even the animals retain
their
<br>freedom of self determination.
<p>The second group are the simple minded, who fall for patriotic
entreaties
<br>about defending democracy, Mom, apple pie; in other words, all
the
<br>traditional government propaganda. Do you think Soviet lads subjugated
their
<br>neighbors throughout the world because they thought the Soviet Union
was an
<br>EVIL empire? No, they were fighting for MOM, and whatever passes for
apple
<br>pie in Russia. Step back and examine the lies your government is
handing
<br>you, and ask yourself if they have the ring of truth. Do you want to
be one
<br>of the murderers in uniform who opened up on their fellow citizens
at Kent
<br>State? When you put on that uniform, you give up all autonomy, and
become
<br>nothing more than a weapon, to be used for whatever evil purposes the
<br>scoundrels in government demand (and, if you look carefully, you will
<br>discover that the only interests THEY serve are those of the big
businesses
<br>that own them.)
<p>Finally, you have the hard-core psychopaths. These are the people who
WANT
<br>to kill. Murder, torture, rape; THESE are the American values upon
which
<br>THIS group is focused. The cause doesn't matter, they're after the
thrill
<br>that only warfare can provide.
<p>Just remember: killing for George W. Bush, or for George H.W. Bush,
or for
<br>Lyndon B. Johnson, or for Richard M. Nixon is not the same as
defending
<br>yourself, your family, your friends, or your country. Don't be a dupe.
Don't
<br>Enlist!
<p>Remember -- supporting the troops means supporting Bush aggression,
<br>profiteering, and war crimes. Here's an idea: why not take those
ribbons,
<br>dip them in blood, and mail them to the White House?
