Alright homey, first off, thanks for being in the military, whatever branch you served in, even if it was the Coast Guard I think that is one of the most honorable things you could do with your life as an American. What i disagree with you on is the idea that you, as a former serviceman, would give 100% support to a WAR that undermines the very document and rights which you were sworn to protect. War, according to the US Constitution, must be declared by the Congress who ultimately answer to the People. The fact of the matter happens to be that our nation is NOT at war. Our nation's Military is. By the way, our military wasn't meant to be policemen directing traffic. The US military is designed for annhilating entire standing armies, navies, and airforces which would have the nads to face us. If our entire country really was at war then there would be a MASSIVE effort for ordinary American People (A.K.A. the sleeping giant) to conserve any and all resources which could be turned into weapons, troop supplies, food rations, armor, bullets and bombs (See: Hemp for Victory). All of which would be used against our enemies to the goal of unconditional surrender. If we are in a struggle to save civilization as we know it then why has the rest of the world done close to nothing? Instead we have a fairly small force in theatre with trillions of dollars of deficit spending (AKA Future Taxes) accumulating every hour. And if you say it may be that 9/11 was fake or that its all for oil, none of that is worth the US Constitution being fucked with by the guy who said: "It's just a goddamn piece of paper..." - Bush Jr. Basically everything is how it's always been, the PEOPLE have the real POWER and the GOVERNMENT knows it and are AFRAID of the power we collectively wield. So think twice before talkin shit on my countrymen telling them to get the fuck out.
