"Sometime to halt 'To Support Our War' [for Illegal and Unprovoked Aggression Wars]"

By Joachim Hagopian

Another large side of the alternate news I utilized to write, is leftrockwell.com. Since December 2015, an article has been published entitled "It's time to halt supporting our troops". all Day of Memorial and Veteran Day in America, we frequently hear the expression "support our troops" as standard, crumpled protocol. It is almost compulsory to talk and do, to pay apparent tribute to the brutal bloody sacrifice of millions of American soldiers lost in the last 4th of a 1000 years of wars in the US, in what has late become a little crucial national ritual—the pretending that America is inactive a land of freedom and a democratic lantern of light and freedom for the remainder of the world. Clearly not. Instead, America, along with Israel, is the most despised nation and pariah on earth.

Growing up as a patriotic boy of a 20-year-old U.S. Navy submarine, who fought bravely to defend our arrogant country during planet War II and the Korean War, Memorial Day has always been a vacation that meant much more than another day off from school or working on a three-day weekend. The courage of my father, winning the Silver Star in the Pacific during the 2 wars with the US, inspired me to follow in his military footsteps, so in July 1969 I conscientiously set off for West Point during the last 4 years of the Vietnam War, the first painful war in U.S. history, considered the first humiliating war defeat of our country, but with another 1 in the future. The Vietnam War painfully divided our country like no another as America's first actual defeat on destruction, during which the long-term business of the U.S. troops and the regime's change of government left a bloody mark (more than 58,000 U.S. victims against over 3 million victims in Southeast Asia). Unfortunately, another of the same disastrous, costly errors in the assessment of the situation arose later this century erstwhile the large Israel task wars were fought in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now seemingly with even more serious consequences in Iran.

Since the time of my own military, the expression "support our troops" has started to torment me, seeing the remorse being utilized to brainwash another young generation, which was to be sentenced for life to further human sacrifices to die on another alien battlefield in another pointlessly immoral war of the large Israel Project. To the point that by 2015, they were inactive trapped in another false lie building democracy, this was to become the longest-running war in US past in Afghanistan (2001-2021). In 2015, I felt obliged, among this endless bitter aftertaste of the ashes of the Empire of Destroying neo-imperial conquest, to challenge a mantra that served both as a cemetery for the dying U.S. Empire, which survived its erstwhile size, and virtually a cemetery for besides many Americans in uniform. And so, on this Day of Memory 2026, erstwhile American families and friends meet at yearly barbecue meetings, I thought it was a good time to "repeat" my Acute 11-year-old exposing:

Time to halt "supporting our troops"

Thanks to 115-year tradition annual American Army-Navy football classics Saturday, the alleged "game of America" and "rivaling forever" are here again. This chance never ceases to worship the alleged "cream of them" elite military academy America, and always from the president to celebrities – Americans pay tribute to our armed forces. During this time we hear the celebrated patriotic motto "support our troops", repeated thoughtlessly. Therefore, it seems appropriate now to look at it coolly, and re-examine what it truly means to "support our troops."

As a postgraduate of West Point and critic of the American Empire, for me conviction'support our troops"has long since ceased to be popular in propaganda. The U.S. Empire has been utilizing this contrite expression besides long to brainwash Americans and justify its wars and violence. It appeared during long-term war losses in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last decade. It was never heard of during Vietnam WarWhen our combat veterans returned home feeling defeated and suffering from untreated PTSD symptoms, excluded by a nation that bitterly turned distant from them, especially by their own peer group. Let's decision to 4 decades and 3 war defeats, and our government is inactive sending Americans to fight and die in Afghanistan (now 9800) and Iraq (3500, another 100 en route), and now in Syria (50 just proposed, and another en way while Bobbsey twins, bitter Bobbsey, request 20,000 extra soldiers in Syria). But during the wars of this century, we inactive hear Americans with red, white and blue flags, who urge us to "support our troops."

In the long run, supporting our troops has made the United States the most militant and aggressive country on earth, without exception. Entering in 2016, our ultra-brutal country will be killing another people somewhere on this planet for 223 of the last 240 years [update 233 of 250 years], since the United States existed. This. 93% of timeWhen as a nation transformed into an empire, we destruct human life. That's surely no reason to be proud. And yet "our troops" were the perpetrators of the murder. No compassionate, rational individual could blindly and obediently support specified ruthless disregard and contempt for the life of his neighbor.

Another fact that Americans can't be arrogant of is that the world's most fighting nation has even murdered since planet War II 30 million people worldwide, of which it is estimated that 90% of them are civilians.. After initiating 201 of the full 240 armed conflicts from the end of planet War II to 2001, it follows that at that time the Chaos Empire and the U.S. demolition murdered 27 million innocent people whose lives were tragically interrupted not by their fault, simply for surviving in the incorrect place at the incorrect time, belonging to an improper nationality targeted by America's full dominance and the global hegemony of superpowers. And that was before the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And what it takes to stay Target as U.S. abroad enemy? Any country whose leaders decide to advance the well-being, independency and quality of life of its citizens beyond the fascist transnational corporate interests of the U.S. Empire is attacked economically through sanctions and embargoes, politically through propaganda lies and threats, or militaryly, Though unnatural disasters...a weather war, occupied invasions involving a long bloody conflict or acts of terrorism, coups and killings. Just ask Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, Panama, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Congo North Korea, Donbas, Palestine or Russia to name more than a dozen.

People throughout the planet have been victims for over a 100 years of conscious rape and plundering their lands by the American Empire in the name of stolen natural resources and inhuman forced labor, and it is these nations that have voluntarily succumbed to and succumbed to demands and force from the United States. In fact, according to the tradition of the British Empire, the full national and abroad past of North America consisted of genocidal killing, enslavement, theft, and submission to another races with darker skin to death and submission. In this context, from a broader perspective, "supporting our soldiers" is actually supporting mass execution worldwide. In view of this sober, grim reality, it is time for Americans to halt with this jingoistic "rah-rah" which only adds insults to the wound of the remainder of the world's victims.

In 2008, the US released More money all 5 seconds to wage an immoral, illegal war in Iraq than the average working American made all year. 80% of American taxes are allocated to fund the Pentagon's yearly budget to wage war worldwide. erstwhile specified war investments, which take over heavy-earned taxes of U.S. citizens, place specified an unequal precedence over the welfare of their own citizens, after over a decade exhaustion of an excessively stretched army forced to lead three, four, or even 5 more conflict tours on 2 simultaneous fronts, it besides overloads and decimation of the American mediate class. And now, for the first time in almost half a century, American mediate class is no longer a majority in the United States. A large part of them died erstwhile she plunged into a increasing lower class of poor, mediocre Americans, barely making ends meet.

But given the cost of war for the victims' countries, where since 2003, the U.S. has killed over a million people only in Iraq, this number published with research at the beginning of this year is undoubtedly conservative respect. The survey states that up to 2 million people died in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan in American wars. These colossal crimes against humanity consider supporting the U.S. national government and its troops a moral crime. The full and ruthless demolition by America of the second and 3rd largest global oil maker in Iraq and Libya, turning them into failed states due to the fact that their erstwhile U.S. allies moved distant from American petrodolara, is unacceptable, yet this is simply a tragic consequence of blind support of our soldiers. More than any another country, the U.S. present is liable for ISIS being able to make money billions au oil theft from Iraq and Syria, backing the largest terrorist group in the world. And American crime partners, Turkey and Israel, are the 2 largest buyers of terrorist oil. In practice, supporting our soldiers besides means supporting both crimes against humanity and terrorism worldwide.

Supporting our soldiers has contributed to the planet becoming much present more armed and dangerous than always in our documented past of humanity. Our country is besides liable for Leading the biggest arms race in history, where not only the U.S. Empire spends billions on weapons of mass destruction, but due to the aggression of the Empire forced Russia and China to respond, importantly expanding military spending. 12 years ago. U.S. defence budget was almost equal The remainder of the planet together. However, during the 2 prolonged wars of the U.S. in this century and the smaller secretive worldwide, US military spending increased to $682 billion in 2012 In 2003 [this year the Pentagon budget has more than doubled to over 1.5 trillion]. The exponential emergence in American aggression besides put force on unilaterally announced enemies of the US, Russia and China to importantly increase military spending. The US decreased from nearly half (46%) of the world's armed forces in 2003 to Only 35% in 2014 a year due to the sharp increase in military budgets by Russia and China. In fact, following the example of America, both the world's yearly arms sales and military budgets have risen rapidly in the tens of countries that seem to be preparing for a "big break". No wonder the US with 31% are besides the largest arms dealer in the world, and Russia with 27%, and China accounted for 5% between 2010 and 2014, a 16% increase compared to arms sales between 2005 and 2009.

Events and developments in fresh weeks have exacerbated tensions and confrontations between the US, Russia and China. Supporting a NATO associate Turkey, which shot down recklessly A Russian jet bomber, which resulted in the shooting down of a Russian rescue chopper besides last month, as well as a probable ISIS bomb shot down Russian aircraft, by killing all 224 on board a period and a half ago, American Navy Destroyer The war was within 12 nautical miles of the built islands in the South China Sea, the United States and the West seem to provoke Putin and the East to World War III. And as atomic powers become direct to combat in Syria, Ukraine and Asia, the self-destruction of humanity becomes a very real and serious risk, culminating after the 4th of a century erstwhile the U.S. Empire was acting militantly as the only global superpower and "global village" tyrant.

Out of almost 200 countries, no another country in the planet has more than respective military bases outside its own country, outside the United States. Unlike the remainder of the world, the United States is sending 1.5 million military occupiers on active duty au over a 1000 military installations all continent in the world. Only this week the Pentagon announced worldwide expansion of military bases, however, without giving a full number under the pretext of secrecy. West Africa, East Africa and Afghanistan are destined for full-scale bases. Meanwhile, U.S. peculiar Forces, which act secretly and frequently execute partisan, fast strike operations at night, actively commit acts of panic in over 135 countries around the world, or about 75% of all countries in the world.

Let's look at how our national government supports our soldiers. After sending over 6800 American soldiers (including 7,000 civilian contractors) for early graves, fighting in 2 of the longest-running wars in American history, leaving a million injured applicants from life-threatening physical injuries to emotionally paralyzing PTSD-related traumas and scars, the Feds betrayed our patriots serving the country, treacherously attacking all returning combat veterans as The top threat to the enemy on American soil. Indeed, veterans, gun-holders and dissidents are considered to be a greater threat than even a terrorist monster created by the national ISIS due to the fact that an open border policy Obama facilitates easy access to setting up terrorist cells in America.

Veterans seeking aid are usually swamped The deadly poison of large Pharmacy, rapidly addictive and even more unstable. Many are helplessly waiting and dying on lists of medical services, which frequently do not come fast enough. The disclosure of forty veterans who died awaiting service, on invisible letters at VA infirmary in Phoenix triggered in Last year a serious scandal. For respective consecutive years on average Twenty-two veterans committed suicide all day in the United States. The overloaded Veterans Administration has been highly unprepared to deal adequately with the magnitude of the problem erstwhile so many severely damaged erstwhile soldiers urgently request long-term assistance and care. 1 survey predicts that even up to half a million The veterans will go to criminal justice in the court system.

Almost half (44%) legislature millionaires and so fewer (19%) It was now in uniform, Washington warriors are constantly ready to send young men and women from the lower American classes to danger, fighting in dirty, secret wars Obama in many fighting zones around the world, which the public doesn't even hear about. Yet almost no of their own sons or daughters fight in a distant war. The way our own government used, abused, and did not support our soldiers is despicable.

And then a crucial percent of those Americans who say so loudly that "support our soldiers"too frequently he's dishonest. frequently hypocrites repeat the same banal clichés year after year from their planet from an ivory tower, feigned, surviving so far and discouraged into real war conditions, and even knowing anyone in military uniform. Never knowing the tragic madness or the bloody consequences that U.S. wars destruct millions around the world, permanently damaging everyone involved, Americans who have no thought will say carelessly, "We owe so much to our soldiers who fight to defend us and free." What bubble, planet, or century do they live on?

Since the September 11 interior coup, U.S. citizens have besides become a murderous neoconservative war against the victims of terrorism, terrorized by their own global criminal government and a militarized police state that effectively took distant their freedom and civilian liberties, while the guilty proceed to violate and defend both the Constitution and the American people. And yet besides many manipulated, stupid, and unconscious in America seem not to understand. possibly due to the fact that they're being bombed 24/7. by lies and misinformation of the mainstreamThat never reveals the ugliness of war as it truly is. The ruling elite controls all aspects of mass media, utilizing universal censorship of films, tv and video games, where violence and war are only glorified. The military, the CIA and the FBI control all aspect of what comes out of Hollywood today.

But over 4 decades Volunteer Army consisting of little than half a percent of the full U.S. population contributes importantly to the widening of the discrepancy between 99+% of the civilian population and little than 1% of Americans in uniform. The cruelty and cruelty that the imperialist Empire has caused by a device to kill the 3rd planet countries half the world, may as well be billions of miles away, on another planet or galaxy. Out of sight, many civilians leave their minds in isolated tunnel reality.

Those presently in uniform must remember that they have a sworn work to defend America from home and abroad enemies. As citizens who no longer live in a democratic republic but in a totalitarian police state, they must recognise that their national government has diabolical plan enslavement and elimination of another Americans. alternatively of penalize the opposition, the real interior enemy became the national government and all Americans must accept this tragic situation. Therefore, both those already in uniform and ready to sign up and let themselves to become the latest cannon meat of their criminal gang in elite wars, must stand and be considered to be patriots loyal to their country and fellow citizens, alternatively of blindly obeying their psychopathic masters. The military must no longer be supported erstwhile they are misdirected to betray their own citizens. Military personnel must take work for their actions and follow the Constitution and humanity.

2015 was a stormy year erstwhile Globalistic terrorism spread to all parts of the world, sowing death, war and demolition in its aftermath. Meanwhile, feeling his economical strength weaken in the face the increasing power of east rivals – China and Russia, the United States government has already admitted to losing the war to keep the US dollar as a planet reserve currency. DC criminal syndicate knows his days in power are numbered. Since psychopaths ruling the planet do not want to quit their absolute power of control, they realize that the usage of their puppet president Manchuria and his overloaded U.S. Empire to recklessly execute their dirty planetary commands to effectively destruct the world's most powerful nation, leading the Empire to a violent fall in the way of 1 planet government, can only be achieved through The outbreak of planet War III against the powers of the East just erstwhile their global economy, based on Ponzi's home of cards and debt collapses itself. Thus so late in the final phase of the elite of power, as we inactive hear "support the troops", in fact it is time to fight for life, supporting humanity in the conflict for endurance and the eventual triumph of good over evil.
