A question about the US military

[Sunni Man]

The ACLU is our biggest defender of freedom .

The ACLU is just a bunch of socialist/communist jewish lawyers hell bent on destroying the country. ......

 

[depotoo]

You opened with a ? in your title, yet you had no question you wished answered. You have been hand fed into a power scheme by individuals, that wish to see unquestioning conformity of you, the likes of which Mussolini, Hitler, Pareto, Marx, and others would be proud. They understood the human psych of those that were easily manipulated and how to get them to believe in their false utopias, so their power hold could become stronger. They knew how manipulated media could help them in their rise as well.
If you truly want to understand the manipulation tactics they use, this link is a good start.
Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Ideology (Frankfurt Institute for Social Research)

ISIS is another example of manipulation by those power hungry.

You are obviously a brain washed ideologue and have no desire for honest discussion.

If you say so, bud.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I often hear Americans say that US soldiers are defending my freedoms. That they are protecting my rights. I honestly do not see it.

In my opinion, the US military and its servicemen have historically served to protect the status quo of controlling government in America, and the interests of the corrupt politicians which benefit from its existence. Save for the few times when we actually needed heroes with guns to join an institutionalized force of gunslingers, WW2 being a prime example.

With that in mind, it is hard for me to understand why so many Americans that cry against the police state and growing role of authoritarianism, will openly suck the cock of every military servicemen or police officer in existence.

Keep in mind, I do not have a problem with servicemen or military personnel in general.

Many servicemen had good reasons for joining, like wanting to see the world and prove themselves, or because their was an important war going on that they wanted to take a side on, and had a strong moral justification for wanting to choose the side that they did. These servicemen I can respect.

Those are not most servicemen though. Since recruiters primarily advertise towards youth, most servicemen are dumb kids who thought war would be fun, or jocks that got afraid of responsibility so signed up upon a little pressure from a US army recruiter . I don't even have a problem with them though, since they were just young and naive, and a lot of good things probably came out with their choice to join the military.

My problem lies with those that fanatically believe that they are protecting our collective freedoms through military service. That somehow by signing up to serve the ruling political elite in America and following the whim of those people above them making the decisions, that they are doing us other Americans a service.

Yeah, I don't think so. I think that's bullshit. Maybe it isn't though, and I just need some clarification on what some fat quartermaster in a cozy base house in Munich is doing to protect my freedoms.

Until this is explained to me, I am forced to believe that those who religiously serve the government and its authoritarian tendencies through military service, are traitors to the American people. We have a strong heritage rooted in freedom and independence, and in times of peace and even in war, the armed forces serve the very powers that are attempting to rewrite America into becoming a socialist nanny state.

Just because we all know someone serving in the military doesn't change the reality that its existence serves to oppress us. Time to start seeing the enemy for what it really is.

It's like when the Iraq was a war for freedom. Bullshit! It was for oil and Saddam was making coca cola uncomfortable.

We police outside the US so McDonald and taco bell can sell shit abroad.

And you see the far left drones and their debunked narratives with zero proof but their religious teachings!

It's why international corporations like Pepsi should be paying more in taxes. They benefit from the protection we give them all over the world. I don't care if its safe to sell Pepsi in Iraq but Pepsi does.

The real corporations that make out is the mining industry...

Practically Every company on the fortune 500 can thank the US military for keeping them safe. CIA and FBI and cops too. Corporations like GE pay zero taxes? That's fucked up

And the far left drone proves my point, they run debunked narratives that have no connection to reality..

But then again they also prove that in their religious history books that the history of Iraq started in 2003..

Mind you there is zero proof for these drones, but they run with their debunked religious narratives..

Lets abolish and completely rid this country of all US Military Branches.

Then lets see how long it takes Mr.Ackhmed to show up at your house, and give you the Koran and tell you to start practicing Islam....Or else.

And ISIS and Al-Qaeda assign you a job; telling you and your family what you can and cannot do - Remember the Taliban and the control they had on the civilian populations abroad - as well as the taxs they put on the civilain population.

If you do not want to start speaking Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian.....or someother Middle Eastern Language ; you better start appreciating what men and women in uniform do for this great nation.

The men and women in Uniform protect our freedoms, the Constitution.....and my right to travel from state to state without having to go through a border check, or obtaining permission first.

**** HOW CAN ANYONE such as you be so ignorant **** ; asking how the US Military protects us.

If you do not want to live under the rules of communism, terrorism, or facists........I suggest you give the Military a salute and a thank you.

Of course this was all well known even during the infancy of our nation.

James Madison:
In time of actual war, great discretionary powers are constantly given to the Executive Magistrate. Constant apprehension of War, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.

And:
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied: and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

How old are you, the reason I ask it will determine how I go about answering your question.

It shouldn't matter, bud.

I say I am in my 20's I'll get a difference response than if I say I am in my 30's. I want a universal answer, not an age based answer.

I'm sorry you don't know that educational background and life experience would tell me if you're naive or just plain stupid, that determination will guide me on how I might respond. So far you've demonstrated more stupid than anything.

 

[OKTexas]

With your seemingly vast knowledge on the intelligence of those who served I have to ask when did you take the oath ?

Several years ago, when I took the oath to be self sufficient and a force for change. I was once heavily entertaining the idea of going to school to become a logistics officer in the US military. Thank god I didn't.

Of course you're too stupid to know that without logistics you have nothing, unless you grow it yourself or make it from natural materials around you with your bare hands. I guess you want to go back to pre-stone age.

In the hands of man, any institution, no matter how nobly created, can be used for purposes never intended. It does not follow that the institution is evil and must be disbanded. Rather safeguards must be put in place to prohibit such misuse. And therein is the problem. Those safeguards are in the same hands of man.

I suggest you fall on your knees and pray to God you are not like "those men".

A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.

And:
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied: and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

The only Constitutional spending the Congress does is on the military, which the far left wants to defund..

FDR built the military industrial complex and the far left wants to dismantle it, yet the see FDR as a God!

FDR built the military industrial complex

How do you justify that?

Do you know history? or are you a far left drone that just runs on religious narratives?

Is this your acknowledgment that you cannot justify it?

You are free to leave.

Please do so.

Oh, and, don't let the door hit you in the ass, on your way out.

I often hear Americans say that US soldiers are defending my freedoms. That they are protecting my rights. I honestly do not see it.

In my opinion, the US military and its servicemen have historically served to protect the status quo of controlling government in America, and the interests of the corrupt politicians which benefit from its existence. Save for the few times when we actually needed heroes with guns to join an institutionalized force of gunslingers, WW2 being a prime example.

With that in mind, it is hard for me to understand why so many Americans that cry against the police state and growing role of authoritarianism, will openly suck the cock of every military servicemen or police officer in existence.

Keep in mind, I do not have a problem with servicemen or military personnel in general.

Many servicemen had good reasons for joining, like wanting to see the world and prove themselves, or because their was an important war going on that they wanted to take a side on, and had a strong moral justification for wanting to choose the side that they did. These servicemen I can respect.

Those are not most servicemen though. Since recruiters primarily advertise towards youth, most servicemen are dumb kids who thought war would be fun, or jocks that got afraid of responsibility so signed up upon a little pressure from a US army recruiter . I don't even have a problem with them though, since they were just young and naive, and a lot of good things probably came out with their choice to join the military.

My problem lies with those that fanatically believe that they are protecting our collective freedoms through military service. That somehow by signing up to serve the ruling political elite in America and following the whim of those people above them making the decisions, that they are doing us other Americans a service.

Yeah, I don't think so. I think that's bullshit. Maybe it isn't though, and I just need some clarification on what some fat quartermaster in a cozy base house in Munich is doing to protect my freedoms.

Until this is explained to me, I am forced to believe that those who religiously serve the government and its authoritarian tendencies through military service, are traitors to the American people. We have a strong heritage rooted in freedom and independence, and in times of peace and even in war, the armed forces serve the very powers that are attempting to rewrite America into becoming a socialist nanny state.

Just because we all know someone serving in the military doesn't change the reality that its existence serves to oppress us. Time to start seeing the enemy for what it really is.

Of course this was all well known even during the infancy of our nation.

How do you justify that?

Do you know history? or are you a far left drone that just runs on religious narratives?

Is this your acknowledgment that you cannot justify it?

How does one justify known history by all, taught in every school in the US..

So you are a far left drone that runs narratives, another far left drone exposed!

Do you claim that someone other than FDR created the military industrial complex?
