So this is could piss off a lot of people, but I've thought this for ages now and figured I might take a shot at sharing it.
They say that when American soldiers go to Iraq they do it to "defend their country". Now considering they don't have, y'know, an army, forces like Al Qaeda and the Taliban can't exactly launch an assault on the US. Now call me crazy, but the only thing soldiers seem to be defending are the swelling bank accounts of the people who make money from conflict, like weapons manufacturers and the like, then in turn the politicians who are in their pocket.
You can say you're defending you're country or protecting your loved ones all you want, that doesn't mean it's what you're doing. The only that happened since the US invaded the middle-east is a shit ton of death. It hasn't "prevented terrorism" at all. War is just the thing that the US is best at and all they're doing is what they know best, killing foreigners, and the soldiers are just as involved as those who are supporting the war.
So in short, I'm disgusted by warmongering politicians and just as disgusted by the military that does what it says as well as the individual soldiers who sign up for it.
So what are your thoughts? Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I a terrorist? Or am I just some brat who isn't a "real man" just because he hasn't been in the army?
