Why We Fight Part 9 of 10

Why We Fight describes the rise and maintenance of the United States military-industrial complex and its fifty-year involvement with the wars led by the United States to date, especially its 2003 Invasion of Iraq. The documentary asserts that in every decade since World War II, the American public was told a lie, so that the Government (incumbent Administration) could take them to war and fuel the military-industrial economy maintaining American political dominance in the world. Interviewed about this matter, are politician John McCain, political scientist and former-CIA analyst Chalmers Johnson, politician Richard Perle, reporter William Kristol, writer Gore Vidal, and public policy expert Joseph Cirincione.

Why We Fight documents the consequences of said foreign policy with the stories of a Vietnam War veteran whose son was killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks, and who then asked the military to write the name of his dead son on any bomb to be dropped in Iraq; and that of a twenty-three-year-old New Yorker who enlists in the United States Army because he is poor and in debt, his decision impelled by his mother's death; and a military explosives scientist who arrived to the U.S. as a refugee girl from Vietnam in 1975.

@savegeone: The truth is a huge, disgusting pill to swallow. Most people spend their lives trying to ignore it but truth is so unbearably ugly. Yet slowly is better than never. The eventual progression will expose this must see film to the masses. I thank you for posting it!

30,000 troops deployed to find a couple hundred so called "Al Qaeda" The war on terror is a fraud. It's just as real as the war on drugs. It's an endless war that can never be won. Just like Vietnam, these wars are meant to be sustained so that greedy bankers can profit more and more money from the blood of patriots. Wake up America before it's too late. The New World Order is breathing down our necks. It's absolutely terrifying. I'm ashamed of my gov't and embarassed to be American.

Have these 2 fuckwads 42 - 53 killed themselves yet? If I was directly responsible for the death and disfigurement of innocent children, I would hang myself. I don't care if I was 'directed' to do it, I wouldn't be able to live with the fact thousands have lives have been destroyed because of me. They both seem to be pleased with themselves as evidenced by those stupid fucking grins this whole video. What the fuck is so funny that they are smirking the whole time. My fucking hero!

Wouldn't even matter.  Certain people would put his brains on display like JFK... We need a grassroots revolution, which of course requires a major shift in consciousness.
