Don't Join the Armed Services

The Army, the Navy and the Air Force are not protecting the United States. They are the illegal aggressor that is throwing the world into chaos. They are helping Israel in genocide.

It won't be the first time Americans have been lied to with propaganda claptrap. It happened in Vietnam and Iraq. It happened in a number of small military actions. 

In the many Indian wars the U.S. had stolen the land from the natives. When the natives fought back, they were often slaughtered. Often there were treaties, which the government broke when it pleased them. The soldiers who fought the Indians were killers of other humans. Nothing to be proud of.

The U.S. was not attacked by Vietnam. It would not have been. Earlier attempts at diplomacy had been rebuffed by the American government.

Yes the U.S. was attacked on 9/11. Instead of attacking the country where those that flew the planes from, Saudi Arabia, they attacked Afghanistan long after the mastermind had left that country. The US went after Iraq lying about weapons of mass destruction. 

Too many Americans died. Too many Iraqis were killed. Fathers, sons, husband, brothers, friend, children, even women on both sides, all dead.

There have been wars worth fighting. The Civil War, WWI, WWII. One was fought to end horrendous slavery, although the North could have let the South go its own way.  

WWI and WWII were fought to stop a dictator from occupying other countries and/or committing genocide. Normandy is filled with white crosses or Stars of David of men and a few women who died protecting the homeland.

Now more than ever, the new war is unnecessary. It is illegal under international law. As in most wars arms manufacturers benefit. Politicians who want power benefit. 

And those who agree to fight should know they are risking their lives, becoming killers of more innocent people, risking their health for what? 

Nothing!
