Years of Distracting our Energy on The First War we started (in Afghanistan) because we Invaded Iraq for a second time;
Years of Citizen-Soldier-Warriors being taken for granted AND;
Years of flag draped coffins being censored from the world to demoralize the world of the many costs of war AND;
Years of tax cuts, without a cent of sacrifice from the American public AND;
Years of expanded Tours-Of-Duty AND;
Years of ignoring the problems in Mexican drug cartel dominated territories which cost over 60,000 lives in the past seven and a half years AND;
Years of human rights violations AND;
Years of an unpaid war AND;
Years of ENTHUSIASM FOR VIOLENCE like Granada, and Panama AND;
Years of reducing the focus from peace to a focus on corrupt, bloated, and chaotic wars AND;
Years of stocking caches of thousands of nuclear warheads which are not only deteriorating, but also being left out of sight, and unguarded AND;
Years of allowing military contractors to not face jurisdiction from the military or the local courts when there are pedophile laws broken because drunk American workers take multiple local sex slaves who are underage and violate every moral principle that any civilized court system upholds AND;
Years of military contractors recruiting custodians, chefs, etc to foreign bases with the standards, and a modernized version of the indentured servant system... If you're unfamiliar, this is how it goes down: "You live in a distressed village? (a poor African, or Asian villager is asked) You want to work and have money to live on and send some back to your family? Pay for this application (Just $4,000 , and we'll loan you the money for this application plus interest if you can't afford to pay it), then we'll put your application in the 'The Best Job Recruiting Operation' there is" .. weeks later, "You have been accepted to a great paying job, and we'll pay for your relocation costs (Which for a poor person in Africa, is simply a One-Way bus or plane ticket.). "Now that you're here, with the rest of the workers let's just be have out it. You're working on a military base which is in an extremely dangerous part of i.e.. Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, etc.. The U.S. Active Duty militia men, reservists, National Guardsmen, and enlisted persons, are on their 2nd, third, and fourth tour of duties and are experiencing mental and emotional trauma...IT CAN'T BE EXPECTED FOR THEM TO PEEL THEIR OWN POTATOES, OR CLEAN THEIR SHOWERS ANYMORE, You Have to do this now, 14 hour plus, Seven days a week, for a $100 a week pay. And You MUST do this, because your application dues have not been paid yet, and in order to satisfy that loan we provided for you, you are looking at working here for a conservative estimate of 50 weeks before you start getting a dollar. And did we mention that if you try to leave here... You're an uneducated African, or an uneducated Asian, and don't speak the languages of Arabic, Pashto, Farsi, Albanian, Bosnian, You're also in the middle of war torn Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Bosnia, or Kosovo, etc.. And there isn't any hope for you to survive living a day outside of this military base, but..Seriously we can't guarantee your safety on this base either. "
Years of Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, and Obama putting more and more blood sweat and tears into this behavior without a virtuous audit AND;
Years of nuclear weapons lobbyists claiming that their job programs are more vital to the global balance, rather than investing in failing infrastructure right here in home AND;
Years of sending the military to natural disasters instead of the Peace Corps because the military dwarfs every other organization AND;
Years of no competition on resources when it comes to the mothballing spectrum of "military functionality."
Who thinks se should have one year of Liberty from this un-American organization? The trillions of dollars spent on just the operation I've listed here alone, far exceed the cost of the next costliest institutional asset of this country, (that institution is not the health care system, it is not the education, or environmental management system) social security, which is dilapidating rapidly.
If future generations are to look at present American, and world leader's policies, and the militaries' costs, and judge whether to fund the 45 year old+ retirements, then start making up for Korea, Vietnam, The Cold War, Panama, Granada, Iran Contra, The military contractors' atrocities in Bosnia, and Kosovo, The Rampant Corruption and zero accountability of every nearsighted plutocrat who were supported and elected to go to TWO wars without a plan, and with numerous tax cuts to force the future generations to limp out of the cloud of lies that fed into"American Exceptionalism" and wake up in Europe, heating our homes with coal burning energy provided by the Shanghai Cooperation (Partnered with Russia) paying an arm and a leg for unregulated medicine, driving unregulated foreign made cars, having big box stores that replaced community oriented mom and pop stores, and a flood of conflicts focused on resource scarcity, and egotistical chest pumping dog and pony shows that continue to appeal to the conformists.
Years of "Freedom isn't Free" bumper stickers plaguing our vehicles, yet freedom is repressed and suppressed by the U.S. office of The Attorney General, by the U.S. Supreme Court Justices, by Presidents of the United States, and mostly by the people elected to write policies to govern our Democratic-Republic, our failing congressional "Leaders."
If I wasn't a capitalist I wouldn't know the definition of an audit. Fortunately for me, I am a capitalist, and I have an education. It's easy to say that ignorance is bliss, and I believe that most of the country has let that become their mantra. If you audited the policies of our military operations since post Vietnam, thru present, one would not only realize how irrational the majority of its actions, but also gain some foresight that these failing practices are leading us to another depression, or super recession at the time when we can't afford it the most... climate change, poor education standards, poor health standards, poor sustainable infrastructure standards, poor sanitation standards, poor environmental regulation standards, an economy that doesn't know what to focus on in terms of ethical trade, (last time I checked Coca-Cola Inc. has spread across Africa, and Asia to utilize villagers water supplies so they can produce the plastic bottles for their beverage alone, not even for making the beverage) and our warriors are emotionally drained from the unjust war in Iraq, and the extended tours of duty in Afghanistan while observing abusive behaviors brought on by their own government. It shouldn't be possible to state that there is a war of Good Vs. Evil and not be institutionalized directly after stating this in the world's present environment. Let's start with Halliburton, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bush, and have them face trial...It doesn't have to be in Guantanamo Bay, it can be a military tribunal. Just have the constitutions' heart be validated so that there can be a check or balance administered to these law breakers. Otherwise liberty is only for the rich, and the powerful, and the rest have no voice in this vacuum of propagandized exceptionalism.
