Well Then I'll Say It

If you are a poor, desperate young American, the US military wants you as cannon fodder. See, now that there is no draft, it is getting harder and harder to fill the ranks of warm bodied 'Mericans who we can send in front of the likes of Don Rumsfeld and his generals, to absorb the bullets and explosions from IED's. If you are smart you'll get into a good school and then land a job in the private sector where you can watch the carnage from a safe distance, much like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Snow, Rice, and the rest of them.
For those of you dumb enough to join the military, don't for a second think that you're anything other than a tool. You are a tool. Property of the US military. Hell Rumsfeld doesn't even care enough about your life to even sign the letter to your parents telling them you died. He has an auto-pen do it for him. He must be too busy ignoring the obvious to actually get involved with a signature. Kerry should have said to the kids "now that the military is so desperate for bodies that they can only meet the enrollment goals by lowering standards it is more important than ever to get a good education otherwise you'll end up a disabled Vet with no benefits"
It'll be that or you'll go to jail for following orders.
For the people who believe that the US military is good all I can say to you is you are accomplices in mass murder.
I know that there are good people who do bad things. I know that the military has performed aid missions, provided logistical support etc. But all of those actions are embroiled in the overarching mission of the US military. We kill, blow up and destroy life.
It is no different than Hezbolla providing aid to hospitials and schools. They are still committed to violence to achive their objectives.
I reject the American War Machine.
It is too bad that so many people still believe that we need to spend more money than any other nation ever on things that make people die.
