As I watch TV I notice more and more and
more commercials that claim to honour our vets. The news media, radio, TV, especially, and
our newspapers
all glorify or cover people who glorify our vets.
I work in the Wichita School System and
they have pro-vet signs all over the school, many that encourage our kids to
“say thank you to a vet.”
I don’t mean to disrespect vets, but I
won’t be thanking them. Here are specific things that I won’t be thanking them
for—>
Stealing and ivading people’s countries
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don’t appreciate that we illegally occupy two countries. We are vettting those
who enter the political elections in those countries that we
laughingly lable as “democraies.”
Ripping off
the Kurds who bravely fought against ISIS
for us and then found out the US and its allies have no inentions of giving
them any more autonomy then they already have.
The use
of drones to kill suspected terrorist leaders along with their
families, children and friends who happen to be nearby.
Cheap oil
and other resources that we get first, before the people who live in
those countries.
A greater standard of living that people in
this country take for grated, but those in foreign countries, as in
Bangladesh, live as if they are stuck in the 1800s.
As far as I’m concerned this country has
robbed people of their dignity and respect so that the US can play god.
The only people defending our freedoms
are the American
Civil Libery Union and a few other groups who are the ones who
really fight for our freedom. Not the soldiers who defend the US Empire.
