RE: This Veterans speech gave me goose bumps!
If you want to understand the Military Industrial Complex, read War is a Racket by General Smedley Butler. In a book that can be read to its completion in one sitting, General Butler extensively details the corporate forces behind America's escalation into WWI. General Butler is one of the most decorated war hero's in American history, and his final warning was to take great caution when following political leaders into war. Below is a report I did on War is a Racket:
I read it. coincidentally, when I was in the Marine Corps, I was taught everything about Butler except what he did after the war. Butler was a true hero.
Thanks for your service. My father and grandfather were both Marines. When I was around 20 I asked my father why he never kept any pictures of himself up of him in his Military uniform. He told me that it was his greatest fear that seeing such pictures would lead to me joining the military. I was a mindless youth anyway. I serve my country now in a different capacity. There is a great irony that the government recruits young people to send them to war under the veil of patriotism and protecting freedom and these young people more often than not are the ones who later wake up to how the world really operates and become the biggest enemy of government and its lies. General Butler is a prime example.
