WAR IS ABOUT PROFIT FOR THE ELITE WHILE MORE OF OUR KIDS DIE!!
Innocent kids on both sides die endlessly while these wars accomplish absolutely nothing! Talk to your kids about enlisting and make sure they DON’T!! War is a racket, it’s all about Profits for the Elite!!

DontEnlist

Warisaracket

We watch our country spiral into $16 trillion debt (number is MUCH higher), endless news of deaths in Afghanistan and a parade of lies about our “progress” in Afghanistan/Iraq while our kids keep getting shot to death by the same people they train. Meanwhile, Iraq suffers Civil War and total disintegration of their society. Now we have messed up Libya, Syria and next will be Iran.

WarPOS

I read this article today about another kid that died in these ELITE PROFIT WARS and it’s so sad because these kids think there fighting for our freedom and little do they know that they're so far from the truth. (War-weary US is numbed to drumbeat of troop deaths) [link to news.yahoo.com] All I can say is “WHAT THE FUCK”!! Are we that brain dead as a society that we can’t see that this is all REALLY MESSED UP!! This war has been going on for 11 years and what has it accomplished…..NOTHING!!

:AnotherKidDies:

WakeUpAmerica

Let's go back to 2002 when President George W. Bush concocted the Iraq War. He forged reality with his lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since then, he caused the deaths of 4,200 troops and 40,000 wounded, but killed off 100,000 to perhaps 200,000 men, women and children in Iraq. He destroyed a functioning society! President Barack Obama continues the killing of our troops and theirs in Afghanistan for the past 11 years. Why? Because we engage an all-volunteer Army that doesn’t expose the lies or the corruption of those two wars. No one speaks up, no one protests. Unbelievably senseless deaths continue.

:GeorgeBushCrimes:

Most Americans don’t care about the Afghanistan War and didn’t lift a finger to oppose the Iraq War. They didn’t and don’t involve them. Obviously, the elites, presidents and Congress realize that most Americans won’t get involved, so our leaders continue their folly. Innocent kids on both sides die endlessly while those wars accomplish absolutely nothing.
American troops are still dying in Afghanistan at a pace that doesn't often register beyond their hometowns. So far this year, it's 31 a month on average, or one per day. National attention is drawn, briefly, to grim and arbitrary milestones such as the 1,000th and 2,000th war deaths. But days, weeks and months pass with little focus by the general public or its political leaders on the individuals behind the statistics.

What needs to happen in order to stop these SENSLESS WAR is we need to do a repeat of how Vietnam War was stopped.

WakeUpAmerica2

The Vietnam War raged for 10 solid years because the “Silent Majority” aptly designated by President Richard Nixon—remained silent, did nothing and took no action. What stopped the insanity and absurdity of the Vietnam War? College students, knowing they would die in combat, protested in the streets with “Hell no, we won’t go!” They screamed at the top of their lungs, threw bricks through windows, burned draft cards in front of TV cameras, conducted sit-ins at Congressional offices, wrote letters to newspapers, argued with their parents, formed “Vietnam Vets Against the War” and wrote books exposing the killing, slaughter and horrific deaths at over 2 million people—that our U.S. government perpetrated on the Vietnamese people. Johnson based the entire war on the fraudulent “Gulf of Tonkin” incident.

All wars are about profit for the ELITE…..PERIOD!!

War Is Sell - Washington Elite Benefits from War - [link to www.bollyn.com]

Recently suggested an archly apt bumper sticker: “Be nice to America or we will bring democracy to your country.”

:Americastartswar:

Our government does not bring democracy to countries. Raise your hand if you are naive enough to believe it does. Especially after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were launched (still ongoing). Those two countries are two of the five most corrupt countries in the world thanks to our craven "involvement" -- involvement a profoundly understating word.

What is going on in Syria should have our media and our citizenry paying close and suspicious attention to the war-mongering, corporate agenda-ed violence our government has continued to perpetrate and to hypocritically “spin” “spin” “spin” excuses for. You would think we would have learned. Apparently not. Thousands of human beings are being killed in Syria now, thousands of human beings are being displaced once again, many refugees from Iraq who have survived war insanity thanks to us already and now have to endure more horrors. There should be REAL compassion and empathy for these people. Attention to this fresh hell. The real REALITY of this fresh hell.

Obamaillegalwars

Anyone really paying attention to US policy in the Middle East these past several months must be wondering whether Washington has gone insane!!

War is good for keeping the population down.

Just look at how many useless eaters and beggars we have on this planet. Over 60%.

Iraq War Deaths Exceed Vietnam War Numbers.

Department of Veterans Affairs Reports 73 Thousand U.S. Gulf War Deaths. This story was published in the early part of 2010 and received little attention until just recently.

More Gulf War Veterans have died than Vietnam Veterans. This probably is news to you. But the truth has been hidden by a technicality. So here is the truth.

The casualties in the Vietnam War were pretty simple to understand. If a soldier was dead from his combat tour, he was a war casualty. There are 58,195 names recorded on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC.

Some of these brave men died in the jungles of Vietnam while others died in Medivac units or hospitals in Japan and America. A dead soldier can surrender his life anywhere in service to his country. It really doesn't matter where this happens. The location of a soldier's death in no way colors his sacrifice.

But something odd has happened with the Iraq War. The government, under the Bush administration, did something dishonest that resulted in a lie that's persisted since the war began -- and continues to this very day. They decided to report the war deaths in Iraq only if the soldier died with his boots on the ground in a combat situation.

What's the difference, you might ask?

The combat in Vietnam was in rural areas, far removed from medical treatment centers. Injured soldiers were treated by a Medic. Most died at the scene of the battle before they could be evacuated. Many died on route or were declared dead at the medical treatment facilities. The situation in Iraq is vastly different.

Fighting in Iraq is mainly in urban areas. Soldiers who are injured are quickly evacuated with armored personnel carriers or helicopters. It's a much more efficient system than what was possible in Vietnam, but for those that are seriously injured it means that death is more likely to happen while they are in transit or at the treatment facility.

Under the new reporting system, deaths that happen en route or post evacuation are not counted as combat deaths. This is why the number seems unusually low -- a little over four thousand as of 2009.

The actual figures have been hidden from the American public just like the returning, flag draped coffins were censored from the press. But the figures are now available and we can only hope that the American people will be outraged when they learn how they have been misled.

According to The Department of Veterans Affairs, as of May 2007, reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:

Total U.S. Military Gulf War Deaths: 73,846
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999


The stastics for non-lethal injuries are likewise staggering:

Total "Undiagnosed Illness" (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995


Percentage of combat troops that filed Disability Claims 36%

THESE NUMBERS ARE MUCH HIGHER TODAY!

Numbers today are much, much higher because of all the radioactive poisons our servicemen and all the people of Iraq were exposed to which is killing each of them slowly and painfully as we speak. More than 1,820 tons of radioactive nuclear waste (i.e. depleted uranium) were exploded in Iraq. WHY??? The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded in the Middle East will continue killing for hundreds of years!
