A Veterans request keeps getting deleted on Facebook so I'm posting it here.

I'm re-posting this because for some reason Facebook removed this from my wall, and friend's walls who also had this up. Why it was removed, I don't have a clue.

A good friend of mine and fellow Soldier posted this as his status this morning, I believe it is a well stated and current Soldiers need to read and see how you can properly state an opinion.

"Some people are asking me what I think about Syria, so here it is.

I’m tired. I’m tired of people watching their children grow up via Facebook and Skype. I’m tired of hearing a man tell his wife ‘I love you’ followed by ‘I miss you’ for an entire year. I’m tired of watching the military divorce rate shoot sky-high. I’m tired of overhearing some teenager tell his mom over the phone, “I’m going over there” and hearing her cry from 20 feet away. I’m tired of Veterans waiting years to get the help they deserve and need. I’m tired of empty seats at Christmas dinner every other year and anniversary presents in the mail flying overseas. I’m tired of new men and women walking around with invisible wounds that don’t heal. Our flag is a beautiful thing- but I’m tired of seeing it draped over a casket. I’m tired of men and women missing pieces of their bodies, minds, and souls.

I want peace in Syria. I want people to stop killing each other in Syria, as well as anywhere else in the world. I want to look back on wars, not anticipate them. I want to make plans for the next year, and the year after that don’t revolve around being in a foreign country. I want proof that the people we’re helping aren’t the people who have been trying to kill us for more than a decade. I want to know that the people we’re attacking are the ones who used the Chemical Weapons. I want to know how Syria’s problem is a threat to America, our Freedom, and our people. I want to know why we’re doing this alone, when the use of Chemical Weapons should get an international response.

I can’t protest in uniform or speak against the leaders of our country. But I can address people.

Stop worrying about Miley Cyrus rubbing her ass on Beetlejuice. The next season of The Walking Dead will be available on DVD and Netflix and I promise, it won’t change from what they’ve shown on television. Unless you play football, and your income depends on that next game, stop obsessing over a sport for a bit. The clubs, bars, honky-tonks, and juke joints will be there all year. Ben Affleck isn’t a real hero, so it doesn’t matter what he does in a Batman costume at this point. You might want to turn your attention to this for just a minute, and maybe say how you feel about it- one way or another.

Because a whole lot of people are going to die real soon, no matter what. It’s just a matter of who they are."

From Greed to Wisdom; Apprarently this one man changed his view of the world after serving the elite.

I followed John Perkins after reading his book.  Does his words and actions show remorse or is he continuing the path of many so-called new age reformers and reaping accolades and monetary gain for the benefit of the few?  It's to bad we can longer take what someone says and does at face value.  You be the judge.







Here is what corporate America does across the world and walks away from any consequences.  Who will stop these criminals?





Now here is the trillion dollar question.  What are the upper crust of humanity doing about all of this?  With their vast resources and un-rivaled dominance do they help humanity or subjugate it even more?  They certainly can afford it more than most of us at this point.


Western Nations need to join AA but instead of alcoholism it should now be designated WAS (War Addiction Syndrome)

Here are some items to ponder if you come across this Blog and happen to read it.  1. The cause of most wars nowadays is due to an addiction...
