Recognition Denied, Medal of Honor

[4-2-7]

How come I only see trolls trying to suppress the truth. No comment otherwise to debunk my statement, just name calling.

Because you all know the truth maybe and have no legs to stand on in re-writing history?


Thanks for doing the right thing, President George W Bush.

Fuck Bush. The greatest disrespect you can ever show our military is to waste their lives fighting and dying under false pretense.

When are you and the rest of this countries half-wits going to figure that out?

Or to expend their lives for nothing greater than ego.

That's one of the things I've noticed about the recent Crimean situation: the amount of people who do not understand that aggressive intervention on the part of the United States to militarily meddle in something that we cannot stop would be weakness and stupidity.

What we're doing shows strength (i.e., we're being reserved out of choice, not because we couldn't do something).

But Republicans have built their machine on the the appearance of strength, not actual strength. That's the GWB legacy.

So then Zeke besides Abraham Lincoln can you name me a Republican POTUS who ever won a war?

Tell me, something; What is the underlying truth about war, the military and why so many jump at the chance to go fight even when they have little or no understanding of the purpose of the war to begin with? When the only information they have is the pseudo-truth fed to them by the media?

First a shot across your bow;

I was once a young man who ran to the recruiter on his 17th birthday with a head full of silly, propaganda driven notions. I still have pride in my service and would still do the same if I had it to do over again for a number of reasons. However, I am not 17 anymore. My view of the subject is far more complex and realistic than it was in 1981.

In short; I have come to face the fact that I was mind controlled by people who were using me as a pawn......to put it politely.

Only to find out that many will flash a wide grin and give you a pat on the back as they wave the flag in your face, but few really give a shit. Those few might be your mother and a few other close relatives. When it comes right down to it, most folks are just glad it's you facing the bad guys and not them.
