Honoring Our Military? Hogwash!

[LaughingEyes]

As I listened to all the rhetoric during Memorial Day about how our service men and women have served and died protecting our freedom I became angry. What a bunch of hogwash!

When I hear speeches by those, like the maniacal George Bush , talk about the honor of our service men and women dying protecting our freedom when , in fact, they are being led like lambs to slaughter for reasons other than protecting Americans, for political agendas, egos, money, oil, and for countries that would just as soon see the streets lined with dead Americans, it sickens me.

I wrote an editorial on the subject and I won't post the whole thing here as it is rather long. If you're interested in reading it here's the link http://www.aistats.com/editorial.html

Maybe you're right, but we'll never know if we didn't need to go to war. How can you be so sure that the foreign policy and wars of the US didn't prevent worse things that may have come?

Perceived national interests and national security are the reasons we committ troops...and both are necessary to the American way of life/freedom. The American people elect representatives to decide what is in the national interests and/or national security. Amercians...if they disagree with the agenda of their elected representatives...can replace them every two years...four years...and six years. In the interim...Americans can influence their elected leaders by paying attention to what they are doing in the name of their constituents...by contacting them on a frequent basis. That is our system.
