The Armed Services and Bigotry

During the past few years, the armed services of the U.S. have discharged ten thousand men and women accused of homosexuality. This has cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars-- all the while, while the U.S. is involved in a very expensive war that is estimated to have cost three trillion dollars!

Some Notes on Soldiers

Thanks to Mick Gallagher.

We all love our country & our military; we just don't trust our corporate government all the time. We also feel sorry for the young girls and boys sent to fight and die for a lie, propagated by the corp devils who wanted to take over Iraq, and place the largest Embassy in the world there. I also feel really bad that more rich kids, sons & daughters of congressman, Wall St oil executives, robber barons in our new gilded age-- that more of their sons of privilege & fortune have not been able to serve, rather than just serve themselves.... Over 6K young men & women commit suicide 'every year (this according to a Military study) after they experience the absolute horrible results of our invasion-occupation.
They either kill themselves there, faux accidents, or back here after 3-4 tours, and seeing the absolute carnage we have caused there, over 1.2 Million innocent civilians slaughtered. Over 2.5 Million, since 1991....

I know way too much about the corrupt killing to believe all the propagandist hype, emotional hyperbole.
