That is and always will be a “no-brainer”. But over the past several years, after studying what is really going on in the world, I think we can best serve our military, just as they serve us, by making absolutely sure that their mission is in the best interest of their/our country, and not special interest groups or international corporations.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">If our country’s leaders really appreciated our military, they would not allow them to be so abused. When they use our military for nation building, international politics, and guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan, our military is abused. When whoever is in the White House sends our troops overseas to serve as United Nation “peacekeepers”, they abuse our military. When our military is sent off to war without a Declaration of War by Congress, our military is abused.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">When our government can spend billions and even trillions of dollars for military bases and embassies in Iraq and now Afghanistan but cannot maintain safe and sanitary veteran’s hospitals, our military is abused. When our military is forced to take untested vaccines, that make most of them sick, they are abused. When certain government and military officials have interest in companies that sell these multi-million dollar vaccine contracts to the military and thus profit enormously, they abuse our military. When our government allows our military to be exposed to chemicals and the residue from depleted uranium munitions, they abuse our military. When our troops later become veterans and our government often refuses to treat, or even test them for illnesses caused by vaccines, chemicals, and depleted uranium, they abuse our military.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">When our supposed enemy, the Taliban, receives American tax dollars, in the form of protection money from companies that bring supplies to our troops, our military is abused. You can call it the cost of doing business, paying off the enemy, so they will let the supplies go through. When this money keeps the Taliban in business, our military is not only confused but abused. When the Taliban is seen being ferried around the country in helicopters supplied by Western companies, our military is abused. If the Taliban is hiding out Al Qaeda and Osama, our enemies, what in the hell are they doing receiving our money?</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">When there is nearly unanimous agreement from our current political class that our military forces should be kept in the Middle East and now Central Asia as an occupational force year after year, decade after decade, they are abused. To cancel their retirement and extend their duty beyond original contracts is abuse. Whey they reduce the standards of recruits in order to accommodate even felony criminals and foreign nationals, our military is abused. When they send our National Guard off to defend the borders of Iraq, while leaving our own borders open to potential terrorists, drug smuggling, and criminals, they are abused. I could go on and on and on.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><a href="http://truedemocracyparty.net/wp-content/uploads/exxon_dees1.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13142" height="474" src="http://truedemocracyparty.net/wp-content/uploads/exxon_dees1.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" title="exxon_dees" width="548" /></span></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The purpose of our military is not to insure the profits or protect the operations of U.S corporations operating in foreign countries. They should not die for KBR, Halliburton, the Carlysle Group, Exxon-Mobil, British Petroleum, Blackwater, Monsanto, etc. I know my critics will say that our military is keeping us safe from islamo-fascists. Is this really true? Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that our borders are open and have been, like, forever? If you were the president and you told us that the enemy hates our freedoms and wants to kill us, wouldn’t you first close the damn door to the country. TSA can strip search granny at the airport, but over one million people a year cross our border and no one in our Homeland Security cares. Perhaps there is a good reason they don’t care.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">I will come out and say it. Peace in the world is not the purpose of the U.S. military. Our military’s purpose is to defend the people and property of the United States of America. And the people and property are at home. Anything other than that is an abuse of our military.<br />

Cpl.

The Taliban were told that submitting to US Administration plans for the region would ”bring a carpet of gold”, but resistance would ”bring a carpet of bombs”.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The CIA has not severed its relationship with Al Qaeda</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">http://metaexistence.org/fakewar.htm</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">More on the subject is in the following articles.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">http://www.atimes.com/c‐asia/CK20Ag01.html</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">and here:</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/oil.html</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Afghanistan’s poppy fields – The opium trillion dollar/year windfall<br />
