There's no time here to go at length into the atrocities committed by the U.S. Military around the world, in the name of "making the world safe for democracy", or supposedly protecting Americans from all these foreign bad-guys, or the offensive, aggressive military as some sort of "defense" mechanism. These crimes are surely great in number, but I'm a little more emotionally pissed-off about them at the moment.
Am I the only one gets pissed when I see a solider walking around, elevated above the rest of us in society, sustaining their lives off the property of others, consuming our resources, and giving us nothing in return but alleged freedom?
Contrary to what every dumb-ass non-thinker thinks, seeing only the stolen money they spend into the community, exchanging nothing for something (they didn't produce to earn that income, but it was stolen coercively), the military is not a boon to the economy; they're a drag on it. They produce nothing, but they consume capital. Their income is derived by stealing from the productive class, to sustain them as consumers of non-contracted property, i.e., stolen property that wasn't originally appropriated.
Not seeing either that all resources have alternative uses, and therefore all actions incur opportunity costs, everything produced for the military (tanks, planes, etc) is something that isn't produced for private consumption by the people. Who knows how many meals, homes, or whatever were the consumers' most urgently felt needs, could have been fulfilled were it not for the government's satisfaction first.
They're all piece of shit welfare whores. Fuck "the troops"; they're losers who couldn't find anything meaningful to do with their lives, and so sold out to the military. They should get a real job and produce something of value.
It's North Korea in America, and it's time we recognize it.
Coming along way from being a civilian society, American life has been fully militarized at this point. Almost no one is without family in the military, former, currently, or in the future. This is how the State maintains itself: a never ending amount of people who apologize for its existence, who as well have a financial stake in its continuation.
Now we get to breed pieces of shit like Branden Harms, a Fort Carson Solider, who brought the violence he was taught on post back home, where he committed unspeakable acts against a baby. A baby! Imagine what they do to their wives and girlfriends.
Disgusting these are the men we're creating around this country, and bringing them into our communities. These animals should be contained to the posts they "work" on, if calling it work isn't a blow to the people who actually produce something rather than live as parasites on all of us.
As someone who's wrote off healthcare, an education, or home-ownership in my future, it sure sounds nice to be a part of the military class that has all those amenities. However, I could never sign up to kill people so that I could drive a nice, new F-150 one day. I suppose I'll have to find such an income in the private economy, or whatever is left of it for us after such a sapping of our production for government purposes. Criminals, I tell you!
Fuck the U.S. Government, and fuck the U.S. Military.
No your not the only one!
