Yet you enjoy the freedoms mentioned at the end. Kinda funny, huh?

[pixilatedpirate]

The "freedom" the military fights for is the freedom for corporations and big business to exploit the world, people's labor and natural resources. Protecting the empire's economic interests has always been the primary mission of the US military and intelligence services. Read the writings of Major General Smedley Butler (USMC 1898-1931).

yes, read the writings of a man from a century ago, because when I want to find out about the military's current missions thats what I do. Hey, did you know that the U.S. military has been exterminating Native Americans?

[pixilatedpirate]

Sigh, just read him you might be surprised, the core of systems of power have not changed that much in the past 200 years.The military is used to protect economic interest and power, now and than.

[xxboarder89]

I agree with that to an extent. But you must agree that our military has fought many battles and wars based on things besides what you mentioned...I think most of our wars are a combo of both corporoate and moral things (ex: American revolution > free trade and unalienable rights, Civil War> slavery issue along with the industrial north vs agricultural south issues, etc.)

[pixilatedpirate]

The American revolution was largely a battle for power between elite groups, the British monarchy on one side and the wealthy land owning colonists on the other. Even within Washington's rebel army that was apparent. The officers lived in relative comfort and the foot soldered had to eat their boots to stay alive, many even mutinied, not out of love for the crown but cuz of the understanding they were being used in a war between the powerful.

I despise those who believe that the troops are here to mock and scrutinize every move they make. They are the last, THE LAST, group of people who want to go to war...and the fact that you dare, YOU DARE, insult them is a damn shame on your part. You should be ashamed of yourself. We are not getting any interest from Iraq. They blew up the oil fields (again), before we even entered the freakin' country. What would you have us do instead? Use diplomacy?

not funny pix, you are a disgrace.

[wolfen876281]

Don't find it to be funny. But that's kewl...we have done and will do the job so you can spoof..

[EatYourBeans]

There are lovers and haters, just put up with them. I can't say I approve of the military spoofs, but it's time to pull that stick out of your rear people.

[Onigord]

Well, that is true and not true all at the same time...The Civil War was a war to which the Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union...the slavery issue was not an issue till somewhere in the middle of the war, I think after the Battle of Fredricksburg or something...so in the beginning (this is just my impression), was to preserve the Union of the U.S.A

[kawaiiheartsx3]

[Schlitz]
