SOLDIERS ARE NOT HEROES THEY ARE WORKING STIFFS

20 year MSgt here, nope, not a hero. But I've met a few.

There is another party that has primary responsibility. Intelligence. WTF. They DIDN'T know that there was a culture of bribery and corruption in Washington that would result in a loss of American freedom and soverignty? Clearly compromised; in fact; participating in , enabling, and serving th process that has suppressed our rights.

It is elitist policy capture. The brass that set policy are directed by the elite. And the culture of perserving personal cultural safety instead "confronting the boss" is what has gotten us here.

I know its easier said than done; but the result is we all blame the other and the country falls. Who is primarily to blame? Who is obligated by oath to defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic; but that, as it turns out, is bullshit; its really just about getting a job, getting paid.. right?

No one person is to blame; the culture and assimilation of self preservation and doing or saying whatever is necessary to get position is.

And the ones who are heroes will insist that they're not.

I know where you're coming from and I agree.

without the military enforcing the petrodollar recycling scam , american would have gone third world sometime in the 80's.
