@straitupwrestling When did they defend us? On 9/11 the pilots flew out to the Atlantic because they thought they were at war with the Russians. The military doesn't defend us anymore. Those 11 aircraft carriers don't do deployments off the coasts of the USA, they do deployments to protect Israel, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan and Korea.

@schwagerjt Yeah, if it weren't for the veterans we'd all be speaking Iraqi! 

[charliebarton]

No Iraqi or Afghan civilians... We were told that we fought the war on their behalf, but they never seem to be in the discussion much.

100 face of war, and not one of Iraqi or Afghani descent.

@straitupwrestling Defend you from what? Iraq's WMD that was never found? All these soldiers suffered for big corporates who enlarge their capital using warfare as a cover. You all should protect yourselves from the LIE over CNN, BBC and whole TV.

@CelestialEmbodiment. You can thank the veterans who sacrifice so that you can live in ignorance. You're a real piece of work, a real tool. You're parents must be so proud.
