The apathy we face isn’t from freedom

Snippet:

We are dealing with an evil far worse than any simple war can ever combat. The apathy we face isn’t from freedom. It’s from a conditioned state of slavery that is parading as choice.

    There is one glaring thing Iraqi Veteran left out: Forced Conscription. Ever since President Nixon ended the draft, due to the massive blowback over Viet Nam, joining the military has been a voluntary exercise. If you did not want to sign your life away, you had that option. I and legions of others did not.
    If a .mil member is going to wring their hands and clutch pearls over what wars have involved since the time of Abraham, then he/she should have thought twice about taking the oath. In my second career as a schoolteacher, I did my best to dissuade my students from risking their lives for the MIC and Wall Street. Most of the time, I was successful.

    1. I agree in principle, although I’ll cut him (and those of like mind) a bit of slack. So many of the guys who signed up for combat in Iraq were from families with a history of service, and at the time felt they were doing the right and patriotic thing by going in. That may well have been a naive outlook on the matter, but then I try to remember that not everyone shares my cynical and black pilled view on these matters going back to the 90’s.

      Many of them didn’t come to the stark realization that American military interventionism was largely a scam without the benefit of hindsight. At least he has come around now, and isn’t still insistent on our military policing the world (and doing israel’s bidding, more specifically) as the obnoxious zionists and neocons still are. So, he has made progress in evolving his viewpoint.

        Thanks, D. You are right and so is he. I follow his gun videos on You Tube and they are entertaining. FWIW, after an 8-year break in my Army service, I went back in as an active reservist with a MI Company, as I spoke German and was trained as a POW Interrogator. When our capstone changed in 1989 from Germany to Korea, I requested separation, as I did not have the time to learn a new language and I had more demands from my full-time job.
        Then Desert Storm hit in 1991, and my old unit was activated. Those who spoke Arabic went to Saudi and the remainder wound up at Fort Huachuca replacing the actives which went overseas. They were stuck there for 8 months. Military service is only romantic at a considerable distance. It is dangerous and lonely.
