Tomorrow
is veteran’s day. Every year I write an article about this holiday. And every
year I hear all those same cliches, such as “Freedom isn’t free,” “They
sacrifice all for Our Freedom.” Then there is; “They protect us while we sleep
at night.”
That
these vets are defending out freedom is one of the worst lies of the entire
century. These troops are fighting to defend the moneyed interest of the corporations,
$millionaires and $billionaires. These fights have little to do, if anything,
with freedom. One big problem is that many soldiers, no doubt, really believe the
lies. I hear many young people saying such things as “we want to kick the bad
guy’s ass.” They seriously believe they are fighting for our freedom and our
way of life. They are brave and dedicated. But their cause is still a lie. They
are fighting for an empire pure and simple. While we see such claptrap grarbage
