Gracias for sharing Hermano Miguel ~ It is good to be alive, even on the darkest nights.
I DO NOT SUPPORT U.S. TROOPS nor do I support any executioners in the name of a perverted patriotism.
The Vietnam War is over and need I remind you that the U.S.A. LOST and it will also lose in Iraq. We should oppose all unjust wars and not condone the participation of our Raza in unjust wars in the name of local unemployment.
Before long the U.S. military machine will get up towards aggravating a Latin-nam that has already been building up for decades. Let it not surprise us who are suppose to be in the know about such inevitable historical junctures.
I understand the sentiment behind supporting our troops, but they are not my troops. I sent no one anywhere over the pond to kill anyone for me. Many people have been killed and their killings allowed without condemnation by good patriotic citizens in the name of patriotic sentiment.
No Iraqi has ever attacked me or my family!

Someone who joins an army for money is a mercenary with a gun, a hired killer. Your being a Vietnam Vet should make you see that.
Those over there in Iraq from the U.S.A. joined, they were not drafted. We cannot claim ignorance now, especially after the Vietnam War fiasco.
I have an Honorable Discharge from the USAF but joined after the Vietnam War that I later burned. I was not allowed into the Air Force 'for the convenience of the government'. Probably for the best as at the time I would of gone in and snuck in on a pilot's blind side and slit his throat and engaged in other straight up subversive action.
Have we learned nothing from all the body bags?
We who are here still amongst the living should focus on our own local areas, build up community empowerment machines and help with the basics like teaching our gente how to read and write, do basic math and other social and occupational skills to help them in their real lives.
How can we oppose a war, yet, support the foot soldiers who wage it in the name of patriotism? True patriotism does not allow our sons and daughters to go out and get killed for the monopoly-capitalist monarchy!
Libertad O Muerte!

this military families thing may be too complex for my increasingly feeble mind. the families should protest, every single family. their kids are in harm's way for totally illegitimate reasons. maybe not in afghanistan, but iraq is a fool's errand.
i support the troops 100%. i want them strong, and i want them home. i accept, indeed, endorse, the need for an armed u.s. force. i also believe in personal accountability and commitment. when i did my time i was the best goddamned cannon fodder i could be, within the limits of my status as an unwilling conscript.
the volunteer army is so totally different than when i was a soldier. i felt i had a right to protest even while in uniform, and to follow orders as subversively as i possibly could. but a person who volunteers agrees to allow this bloodthirsty exploitation, they signed up for the unknown and now actuality is beyond anyone's wildest nightmares. so eat that shit, soldier, salute and say "yes, sir". pick up your weapon and march toward the smoke. it's what you signed up for.
let's trust to luck, i suppose, that the democratic leadership will take a radical stance and investigate, disclose the lies, and indict the war criminals and profiteers. let's trust to alternative career choices so kids don't see the military as a better choice than staying home at the mercy of the post-industrial economy.
