Defending your county and offending another are 2 different things.
Please read Brigadier General Smedley Butlers '
War is a Racket'
as relevant today as it was in 1935 when it was published.
Also he is America's most decorated soldier.
an excerpt:
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for
Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make
Mexico and especially
Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make
Haiti and
Cuba a decent place for the
National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen
Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify
Nicaragua for the
International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the
Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make
Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In
China in 1927 I helped see to it that
Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given
Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
It hasn't been about defending our country since The War of 1812.
Its about profit.
a person defending their homeland from foreign invaders is not a terrorist.
