Abuse of Our Military PDF Print E-mail
Monday, November 16 2009 08:48

Veteran’s Day. We should all thank our veterans and current servicemen and women for their service to our country. That is and always will be a “no-brainer”. But over the past several years, after studying what is really going on in the world, I think we can best serve our military, just as they serve us, by making absolutely sure that their mission is in the best interest of their/our country, and not special interest groups or international corporations.

If our country’s leaders really appreciated our military, they would not allow them to be so abused. When they use our military for nation building, international politics, and guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan, our military is abused. When whoever is in the White House sends our troops overseas to serve as United Nation “peacekeepers”, they abuse our military. When our military is sent off to war without a Declaration of War by Congress, our military is abused.

\When our government can spend billions and even trillions of dollars for military bases and embassies in Iraq and now Afghanistan but cannot maintain safe and sanitary veteran’s hospitals, our military is abused. When our military is forced to take untested vaccines, that make most of them sick, they are abused. When certain government and military officials have interest in companies that sell these multi-million dollar vaccine contracts to the military and thus profit enormously, they abuse our military. When our government allows our military to be exposed to chemicals and the residue from depleted uranium munitions, they abuse our military. When our troops later become veterans and our government often refuses to treat, or even test them for illnesses caused by vaccines, chemicals, and depleted uranium, they abuse our military.

When our supposed enemy, the Taliban, receives American tax dollars, in the form of protection money from companies that bring supplies to our troops, our military is abused. You can call it the cost of doing business, paying off the enemy, so they will let the supplies go through. When this money keeps the Taliban in business, our military is not only confused but abused. When the Taliban is seen being ferried around the country in helicopters supplied by Western companies, our military is abused. If the Taliban is hiding out Al Qaeda and Osama, our enemies, what in the hell are they doing receiving our money?

When there is nearly unanimous agreement from our current political class that our military forces should be kept in the Middle East and now Central Asia as an occupational force year after year, decade after decade, they are abused. To cancel their retirement and extend their duty beyond original contracts is abuse. Whey they reduce the standards of recruits in order to accommodate even felony criminals and foreign nationals, our military is abused. When they send our National Guard off to defend the borders of Iraq, while leaving our own borders open to potential terrorists, drug smuggling, and criminals, they are abused. I could go on and on and on.

The purpose of our military is not to insure the profits or protect the operations of U.S corporations operating in foreign countries. They should not die for KBR, Halliburton, the Carlysle Group, Exxon-Mobil, British Petroleum, Blackwater, Monsanto, etc. I know my critics will say that our military is keeping us safe from islamo-fascists. Is this really true? Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that our borders are open and have been, like, forever? If you were the president and you told us that the enemy hates our freedoms and wants to kill us, wouldn’t you first close the damn door to the country. TSA can strip search granny at the airport, but over one million people a year cross our border and no one in our Homeland Security cares. Perhaps there is a good reason they don’t care.

I will come out and say it. Peace in the world is not the purpose of the U.S. military. Our military’s purpose is to defend the people and property of the United States of America. And the people and property are at home. Anything other than that is an abuse of our military. Legendary Marine Corp General Smedley Butler, author of “War is a Racket”, said that there are only two things we should fight for. “The defense of our homes and the Bill of Rights”. Anything other than that is an abuse of our military. He said, "For a great many years as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket. Not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it." He defined a racket as "something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. “

More words from General Butler, “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service, and during that period I spent most of my time as a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico, and especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.” He said: "I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights"

From Alan Greenspan's new book, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World. He writes "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil." Not necessarily to produce that oil, but for Western oil companies to control it. By keeping it off the world market, oil prices and thus their profits are maximized. And also having all those permanent military bases in Iraq is a prime directive for the neo-con think tank, Project for a New American Century (PNAC), in their document Rebuilding America’s Defenses.

The last administration threatened military action in Afghanistan before 9/11 because of the Taliban’s reluctance to sign a pipeline contract to move Caspian basin oil to market. The Taliban was told, "Either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs." You know what happened next. This is something you don’t know about. Before the war, the Taliban, with UN support, had almost wiped out all opium production in Afghanistan. Now that production is back up to what is was before the invasion. Right now almost all of the opium production in the world coming from this area. This is a 500 billion dollar a year business. The opium/heroin winds up in Europe and America and the money winds up being laundered in international banks. You really think some local Afghan warlords/drug smugglers can make this happen? And I am not for the Taliban. I am just trying to find out the truth as to why our soldiers are there risking their lives.

Most of you are saying, this guy has lost his mind. Where is he getting this stuff? Well I get it by not watching TV news or reading newspapers. Most of it comes right from the “horse’s mouth”, from the soldiers themselves. And from other researchers and writers who love our country and freedom more than they fear those who are calling the shots. You may also think that I am some anti-war liberal. NO WAY. I am simply pro-just-war.

Each and every one of you can support our military by opening you eyes and hearts to what is going on in the world. The current Congress is beyond help. Only you can demand that our military, who just happen to be our children and grandchildren, only serve a righteous cause. And believe me, what you think is going on in the world is not even close to reality.

Have you heard what Henry Kissinger said about the military? From two books, Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW’s in Vietnam and The Final Days; he said “military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy”. He has never refuted that statement. Just like you, this makes my blood boil. Kissinger is a globalist, sadistic pig. Yet every administration and most of the Congress in the last 4 decades absolutely revere this man. They bow down to him. This is the ultimate abuse of our military. Only you can stop this.
