i need some help about my veteran's day.

My Advice: Get off of fucking Facebook! There are just some things you don't post there.

You could've just posted that statement here, and you wouldn't have to deal with fallout from people you actually know including your family.

As far as the message goes, I agree!

I have FAR MORE RESPECT for Vietnam War vets most of whom were drafted and many served unwillingly, than I do for more recent Vets who Volunteered, not because it was some kind of "duty", but for the MONEY and benefits.

Don't you folks realize that those who faced combat in Iraq and Afghanistan are paid like $100,000 a year? And private contractors can make even more.

To me these people are PAID MERCENARIES, not patriots. Maybe they just couldn't find another good paying job. Maybe they want the benefits.

The reason these guys go and re-up over and over is the BIG BUCKS, not because they feel they are doing the right thing for their country. That's a grandfalloon (a big lie).

I have no problem with a veterans day to honor the service of those who served their "country". But one must put it in perspective of all the DAMAGE these missions did to innocent people, and the fact that these well-paid "volunteers", voluntarily agreed to kill people for money. That is the bottom line.

I save my respect for those who went involuntarily, and were paid peanuts during Vietnam. They didn't want to kill but their fascist government ordered them to do the bidding of the Military Industrial complex, which profits from war and death.

Remember this on remembrance day: If nobody had volunteered, there would've been no Iraq War, no Afghanistan War, and hundreds of thousands of dead men, women and children, who did nothing to our country, would still be alive, as well as 5,000 American soldiers!

When will they ever learn?

 

WWII vets are a dying breed. Not many of them left...

And if the 1%, including the BUSH Family had not financed the Nazis, there would never have been a WWII.

So America is just as culpable as Germany.

Those who fought were just tools of the 1% who made billions from WWII just as they do from our current wars.
