Thought i'd start a chat to see what you all believe.
Personally i'm indifferent, I agree that things need to be done at certain times but i don't agree with how they've been done up until now. There is so much that is kept from people regarding the wars. If you look into it abit, including the current one, i think you'll be pretty disgusted. I wont post links though as it's your choice what you believe.
But then, i'm going to say against it. Just so I can say the phrase 'bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity'
and if I have to kill the bad guys to help rid the world of evil, then i wont loose a minute of sleep. those little bastards would cut the heads off of me, you, and all of our families.
Don’t let the media convince you that were the bad guys and we need to just leave them all alone. that’s bull shit. every terrorist over there has the potential to fuck our shit up. so "Praise the Lord and Pass the ammunition". instead of bitching like a fucking woman. you should enlist in the military for a few years join the fight for Good.
A couple of guys from the United States head over to China and take down a skyscraper and kill 3000+ people. China responds with military force on U.S. soil. Our military is spread thin elsewhere in the world and our Govenment is weak and economically unable to defend and allows the Chinese to assume police power here in the U.S.. They proceed with martial law and door to door searches, gun grabs and food rationing. Those that oppose this show of force and occupation stand up to the Chinese, only to be lumped in with the "terrorists" they are searching for and hunted down with equal force even if they are peacefully protesting the occupation. The local governments have no choice due threats of removal or death but to appease the occupiers . What side would you be on Diego? Would China be right in performing these actions? Is it not fair to say that those that oppose these actions are merely trying to defend their homes, rights and families from tyranny? Would you defend your family and rights from such activity? How do you know the people you are ordered to kill aren't doing just that?
You took an oath to the Constitution of the United States right? At what point did the "terrorists" threaten our Constitution? What parts of the Constitution have been taken by these "terrorists". It seems to me that when the "terrorists" struck it was our own government that attacked the Constitution in the aftermath. What about Vietnam? Korea? Bosnia? Iraq x 2? Where were the threats to the Constitution from those countries? Why did Americans have to die in those places?
I am in no way trying to discredit your dedication to the Oath you've taken but your statement seems immature and misguided. There are lies being told to American citizens and American military personnel that would BLOW YOUR MIND if you knew of them. The wars that have been fought under the guise of spreading democracy, lifting oppression, hunting terrorists, looking for WMDs and nukes are nothing more than the continuation of an imperialist ideology put forth by people not elected to any level of government and only care about money, resources and or strategic placement for expanding their empires. You and I are merely pawns in a giant board game, metaphorically speaking of course.
It should concern you that you run the risk of getting killed for nothing more than someone trying to increase profit share. It should also concern you that when and if you return home the Department of Homeland Security (Quite the Imperialistic name eh?) will have you targeted as a potential terrorist and is pushing for legislation to have you evaluated to see if you should be allowed access to the 2nd amendment. It should concern you that if you return injured your access to quality health care through the VA is null and void and will be given the bare minimum care necessary unless you can afford to pay for better health care outside the VA.
You sound young and uninformed as was I when I served in the military. As I got older I began to see and understand the bigger picture and chose not to reenlist because of it. I fortunately was not deployed to any combat zones and still take my oath very seriously.
Do I sound like a bitchy woman Diego?
if I was walking down the street in Afghanistan a terrorist would try and kill me. but say Muslim was walking down the street in my hometown, id wave at him. hell i might even say good morning.
I assure you I am not a mindless robot soldier that believes everything i hear. I’m a medic. im getting deployed to take care of those who serve. and treat wounds as they happen.
And when I get out in a few years im sure I can take care of myself. I don’t need VA benefits. I agree with most of what your saying though. You just seem naïve to what kind of people were dealing with.
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
