I want to take a moment to reach out to my brothers and sisters currently serving in the US military. I say brothers and sisters because I'm a veteran myself, having served in Fallujah in 2004 with a Marine Corps Civil Affairs Team and although I am dead set against serving for Obama, we share the noble cause of being willing to put our lives on the line for this country.

Even if you're watching this from an internet cafe somewhere in the sandbox, I assume that by now, you've at least heard of the Occupy Wall Street protests. While the cause of protesting the richest 1% is fundamentally misguided, and the thrust of their message is to ask the government to solve problems created by government, there are some critical lessons to be learned from recent events that directly relate to your life in uniform. Whether you choose to recognize that connection is up to you.

Our foreign policy is one of the primary reasons the government is bankrupt and has to borrow about 40 cents of every dollar spent today. The debt per citizen is almost $50,000. That's a stone around the neck of every child who is supposed to be born free in America today, because their taxes are going to have to pay for this. Now, I don't want to debate the facts of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They're gruesome enough and the cost is staggering enough, but it doesn't matter. No one thinks Iraq or Afghanistan as a whole represent any real threat to national security.

Excellent and well said. This should go viral!

[a2zhandi]

BINGO!

When "they" say, US,WE,OUR. They are not talking about you or I

Make viral. It's your duty.

[lindasuerivers]

A perfect precise, concise, detailed statement of the truth.

[DVincentW]

@SaLiOaKz Then take some dog medicine and clean out your ears.

[TheMobster911]

Adam, I am an aspiring Marine. If what you say is true, for the sake of my country, I will reconsider joining. Thank you for opening my eyes.

HBF = HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY

[SaLiOaKz]

Blah, blah, blah... blah, blah.... blah. That's what I got from this video.

Good Vid, a LOT of excellant points, most if not all I heartily support. Its DAMN reassuring to see & know past & serving troops are deeply questioning the contrived rationale for the US's long history of opportunistic wars that are antithetical to everything the nation used to believe in, and what its claimed, falsely, it STILL represents. The only troops I honor are those who renounce our many past & ongoing wars for Wall Street & MIC, in the tradition of General Smedley Butler. OCCUPY CHANGE!

@JMantisTV

I do. There are thousands of low lifes and unemployed criminals flooding the streets of every major city.

[AoirthoirMasculinist]

G-d Bless you BigSteelGuy!

[wallaceju]

People please remember that when these videos are done there is not enough time to go into detail about every piece of info shared. And I think that Adam is fully aware and is doing a great job. If you can do better, please do! Hoo haa. I mean oorah

Although I agree with most of your video, and appreciate your patriotism, you forgot to mention that the protesters assaulted the Police with rocks and bottles. Those public servants have the same right to return home to their families, just like every service man does! I am not a Cop, but retired from the Coast Guard. During high stress law enforcement situations, tensions can become stressed, just like combat. In Katrina, the looters were trying to shoot down CG Helo's doing rescues!
