Memorial Day Dissent

in music •  8 years ago 

I actually woke up this morning feeling the same way. I honor those who are loyal and brave, those that gave all, and those that worked hard in military service. However I have a problem with the lies and deceptions that pulled at the integrity heart strings of so many of our military men a woman. Yes they absolutely deserve to be honored, have gone to places many of us would not, having given up friends and family to serve because they have the moral character and integrity to do so. I believe they deserve the highest respect of everyone in this country and the best medical care that can be provided, I believe that not one of them should be homeless, food less or job less and I believe that each and everyone of us, who live in this country should stand up and fight for their rights and hard as they fought for ours. I do however also see that these were wars fought for profits, for money, to create what those in government wish to see, which is absolute control of every single person on the planet, and for that I am sad that we this country participated in senseless wars that took the lives of so many. It is time to put an end to the government profiteering through war, ( the U.S having been at war with someone for more that 200 years) and work to create a means of lasting peace. How do we do that... well, think about this, if every being on the planet had everything they needed, and we switched to clean fuel, and gave the land back to our farmers to grow food, then as a country we could begin to barter our good for those good we would like from other countries..We would no longer need oil, or be importing foods from other countries..The United States has such a diverse work force there is NOTHING we can not grow, design, create or manufacture, so why have we given so many of our citizens up to wars??? Politics and greed...I think we can better honor those who went to war by giving them a home a country they can be proud of...
