I am asking you that question it is in your OP

What would Pat Tillman have to say about Memorial Day 2019?
His brother Kevin provides this voice:

"Editor’s note: Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat (left) in 2002, and they served together in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004"

After Pat's Birthday

"It is Pat’s birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after. It gets me thinking about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military.

"He spoke about the risks with signing the papers. How once we committed, we were at the mercy of the American leadership and the American people.

"How we could be thrown in a direction not of our volition. How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voice… until we got out...."

"Somehow we were sent to invade a nation because it was a direct threat to the American people, or to the world, or harbored terrorists, or was involved in the September 11 attacks, or received weapons-grade uranium from Niger, or had mobile weapons labs, or WMD, or had a need to be liberated, or we needed to establish a democracy, or stop an insurgency, or stop a civil war we created that can’t be called a civil war even though it is.

"Something like that..."

"Somehow the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes..."

"Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground..."

"Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country...."

"In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people.

"So don’t be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity.

"Most likely, they will come to know that 'somehow' was nurtured by fear, insecurity and indifference, leaving the country vulnerable to unchecked, unchallenged parasites."

I didn't know Pat Tilman joined with a brother...they look enough alike they could be twins.

I do agree that Bush made a terrible mistake by invading Iraq...but congress approved.

Beyond that I will not comment...he served, he lost a brother...he is to be honored.

Pat and Kevin both sacrificed promising professional sports careers in order to serve. Imho, there hasn't been any good reason for any US wars since 1945. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq seem like gigantic waste of resources, human, material, and spiritual.

‘The US is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today’: MLK, Jr. 1967

You dare quote MLK....unbelievable

You dare quote MLK....unbelievabl

King obviously saw the murderous, racist underpinnings of US foreign/domestic policies much more clearly than you do:

restoring socialist visionary radical martin luther king

"And again he blamed in part the ‘Imperialist murderous war in Viet Nam, and 'the cruel irony of watching Negro and white boys on TV screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same school. We watch them in brutal solidarity burning the huts of a poor village, but we realize that they would never live on the same block in Detroit,' adding that he 'could not be silent in the face of such cruel manipulation of the poor'".

King was a fucking communist pervert. Case closed.

We were absolutely correct to go into afghaniland....since Bin Laden was holed up there....we gave the Taliban an ultimatum...give us Bin Laden or else....they refused thus they deserve what they got.

I think going into Korea was a necessity....unfortunately Truman allowed China to come in without allowing our boys to attack China.

MacArthur was right and Truman wrong.

Vietnam I think could have been avoided...a lot of bad dipolmacy there going back to the end of WWII.

The US "lost" Korea five years before MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons on that peninsula:

"6. In August 1945 defeated Japanese forces formally turned over authority in Korea to the broad-based Committee for the Preparation of Korean Independence, led by Lyuh Woon-hyung, which in September proclaimed the Korean People’s Republic (KPR). When U.S. forces under Gen. Reed Hodge arrived in Inchon to accept the Japanese surrender, they

"a. ordered all Japanese officials to remain in their posts, refused to recognize Lyuh as national leader, and soon banned all public reference to the KPR

"b. recognized Lyuh as the legitimate head of state

"c. negotiated with Lyuh to facilitate swift attainment of independence of a united Korea."

Same thing happened in Vietnam--when the French returned..they and the US refused to accept the results of the election that elected Ho Chi Minh--instead they attempted reestablish the French colony--the rest is history.

Probably more Socialist than Communist--not that you would recognize the difference. Pervert? Well..if having multiple consenting sexual partners constitutes perversion in your book..than a lot of us would be registering..LOL! I guess the 'f**king' part was a given...

No matter..MLK also destroyed the old order in the South..killed Jim Crow and made the Racists eat it--and secured his place in history for all time.
In short..along with f**king many women..he f**ked the White power structure..ahh wait..I get it..there's that perversion..as he F**ked them in the ass!

As you said..case closed!

In Vietnam and Korea it was largely the communists who resisted the Japanese occupations; capitalists in both Asian countries (along with Greece) were far more inclined to collaborate with Nazis and their allies:

"7. As of 1945, most Koreans associated the majority of Korean big landowners and businessmen with the Japanese colonial regime. How did U.S. occupation forces deal with this stratum?

"a. They subjected it to a thoroughgoing purge.

"b. They relied upon it for support.

"c. They remained neutral as the numerous 'people’s committees' loyal to the PRK organized against it."
