The real cost of war.

I have stood by and watched countless talking heads bicker about why we must "fight them over there so we don't fight them here". Well my only response is that they must think we are idiots, do they think we can't count the bodies of our people who have died for the profits of companies like Black-Water and Haliburton? To say our soldiers died for a lie is only half the story. Each day in Iraq and Afghanistan our young men and women are turned into murderers. The psychological damage that is inflicted on them when they are made to shoot down civilians or bomb whole villages out of existence leaves scars that may never heal. They call it PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I call it the only logical outcome for participating in this travesty. Our blood and treasure is going to line the coffins our "Defense forces" and line the pockets of millionaires and billionaires. Please watch this brave soldier speak truth to power and reclaim his humanity. God bless us all.
