[QUOTE="ridahsofdizoom:1215193"]I guess I'm just sick of the warrior worship in America, it's as if anything critical of the military is sacrilegious. "If you don't support the troops you must be an evil terrorist". "Love it or leave it" like I've said before, I feel bad that for some reason they are brainwashed into thinking that they are protecting my freedoms. Until there is another threat like Imperial japan or Nazi germany I find no reason to support the troops, at best they are just an overblown welfare service, at worst they are publicly funded mercenaries being used to line a few individuals' pockets with gold. I think our military has been used to do more bad since WW2 than good. And I wish to be clear, I don't think all service members are idiots, I just feel like we need to be more critical of them in order to make them realize that maybe their career path isn't all too benign in the grand scheme of themes. and to further my point, most people are idiots, so it naturally carries over into the military, I just feel like too many people see it as blasphemy to even question the military and I agree with the fact that our education system seems geared towards producing enough people who see the military as a better opportunity than higher ed. to keep the war machine oiled. I guess I'm mostly just frustrated that so many young men and women seemingly can't avoid being used by corporate interests as pawns, many of them realize it but are afraid to do anything and not that it matters, but I do have a few good friends in the service, one is in kuwait at the moment, the other had an "accident" and avoided being shipped out to Iraq when we first invaded.
