Not that my being a high school teacher allows only me to see this, but it is ludicrous to think that eighteen year-old kids who have no knowledge of what freedom is choose to enter into the military out of a strong sense of duty and honor. I don’t know how many eighteen year-olds are even capable of defining the two words, but let’s just say it is not many. Ultimately in their eyes, the military is simply an alternative to college that can help them earn money for college or provide them training for a job when they get out.
And of course the military uses an array of fit young men fighting imaginary demons and sailing around the world to hide the fact that the military ultimate goal is to be better than their enemy at killing people. And, oh yeah, in the process you just might get killed yourself.
Who’s fault is this? Is it the military’s for deceptive advertising? Is it the parents of children not doing their jobs as parents (which I see all the time as a school teacher) by teaching their children what the world is really like, ie. if you go to the military you may be killed?
I don’t have the answers to these questions. However, if this country is to have any hope whatsoever, we must make it our personal mission in life to force the issue onto others of the atrocities of our government. Without getting into CIA drug traffiking, 9/11 coverup, the Federal Reserve scam, etc. (things which I belive to be true), I simply must state that this is one of the many crimes commited by our government on us because we are unsuspecting sheep. The truth must come out. You must talk about this, especially when encountering your average "support the president, troops, war, etc..." type as it is this type of person which is by far the most brainwahsed, and thus dangerous, person in this country.
