The United States Government (GW Bush, Obama, and the insiders) need to be held accountable in a Court of Law for their violations of the Constitution.
Thank you for this!
Unfortunately this information isn’t allowed anywhere near our high schools. The armed services recruiters are allowed to talk this good game to our young folks, but nothing about alternative services!
Post, tweet, share, whenever and wherever possible!
I know this sounds harsh, but the only way to limit, or prevent future wars is to demand the draft; where everyone signs up and everyone goes! Congresspersons won’t stand for their children possibly becoming hurt or killed and won’t finance these horrific actions!
Know everything you can long before signing up for voluntary military service!
I wish more young people knew these things… In the 60’s its one of the reasons so many young people were against the Vietnam War… they learned about the lies to recruit young men and send them to fight… the macho thinking has assisted in implementing and preserving this system
there are true heroes..there are good men and women who serve and deserve respect…but the system is very tainted and in some places outright corrupt… this won’t improve under our new president…it’s very scary
Thank you for this!

The same as during Vietnam. Promises. Have it in writing and the Army can change your orders. I sat in Fort Ord for 3 days waiting for a plane to fly to South East Asia. If they needed my MOS in Nam I would not have gone to Thailand. I was lucky. The recruiters have to meet a quota so they market the “gravy” and leave out the combat basic Training, that you are “government issue”etc. They own you.
I did not serve myself, but I was raised military, and as a member of a military family was warned from a young age about how the military treats their people and their follow through with the contracts signed by new recruits. I have watched my entire life as people who I know that served were denied benefits they were promised and I think this is great that someone is trying to warn young people what they’re really getting into.
After reading David Swanson’s book, ‘War is A Lie’, I can only see war now as mass murder. Another terrible lie is that peace activists are labeled as unpatriotic and, in some circles, seen as the traitors. We have all been massively brainwashed and need to take off the blinders. I want to thank the man in this video for speaking the truth.
Thank you for this. It really needs to be seen widely especially by the young who think the army is a future.Some think it is exciting and even that they are “keeping us safe”, which we know is not true.
Think it would be better if film showed more “battle porn”–e.g., bodies with faces blown off, splattered brains, etc. Also, if persons are determined to join military suggest they go into Coast Guard which is more concerned with saving lives rather than destroying lives.
Dulce Et Decorum Est III & A Taste of Armageddon
(Or the Empire has no Clothes but a Disposition Matrix)
In due homage
to Horace, Owen & Mikhail
i humbly nod
for how sweet & glorious
it must be to kill or die
the old lie
for God & country
via pompous duty
asphyxiatingly-wrapped
in ersatz honor
bubbling fools patriotic pride
so c’mon kiddies,
any up for good jingo sport?
who’s hungry & poor,
who wants to play
the hubris ‘anything for profit’ killing game?
As newspapers rah rah
pied piper patriotism
with journalistic integrity
star spangled objectivity ha ha!
as a new battle/fear lies just around the corner
& armed forces day just weeks away hooray!
rally loyal citizens
to whitewash warm innocuous blood
off disgraced musket & sullied polluted flag
strike up the marching parade
manifest destiny
down main street usa hurrah!
Awaken & open thine eyes
chauvinistic folk
come & see
xenophobic overseas deeds of nefarious brutality
You’re liable
for this appalling
tax-paid supported violence
exported to hamlets & villages
in lands you couldn’t find on a map
nor correctly pronounce
Assaulting families
who’ve never
did you any harm
clans you’ve never heard of
nor care less for
so step on up
one & all
Take a trip
to the overflowing morgues
filled with small smashed bodies
once toddlers
full of laughter & life
Deeply inhale
the rancid stench
of scorched flesh
crispy burnt
to a black bubbly mass
by phosphorus
Gaze into doll dead eyes
frozen forever
by shock & awe
renditioned
via your God blessed terror from above
Crumpled atop a cold gurney
a stiff finger of a tiny hand
amidst a mish-mosh of mangled flesh
bulls-eyed at you war supporters
Watch
as grief-stricken father’s
zombie-wander
in shattered silence
sifting through ragged debris
devastating destruction
searching
for lost sons
missing daughters
Discovering
ripped wet mangled body parts
strewn out as pieces of a human jig-saw puzzle
taking home
the ear, the hand, the foot
to be quietly buried
while 6000 miles away
blue-blooded heroes giggle and snicker
at a video screen
toe-tagging this crime against humanity
‘bugsplat’
Harken
to the heart-piercing shrieks
as soul-torn asunder mothers
wail like howling wild animals
as they find their loves buried
broken & bloody
in the rubble
of your glorious works
Then if you can
please explain
to the unresponsive moaning
neonatal orphan
why your armed forces
just murdered his parents
by accident
then wave a condolence payment
like juicy enticement in his face
Celebrate
as your special op-forces
silently efficiently & quickly
dig out bullets
from civilian bodies
to cover their tracks
from being at the wrong address
again
Declare as a national holiday
murdered women at a bridal shower
or when
4 kids are droned to smithereens
while tending sheep
rejoice
in exported evil exploits
as great american victories
for which your war crimes always are
Trust flim-flam,
the PR propaganda spin
from subjective mass media
obey leaders and church bosses
pay your taxes
which finances anglo-terrorism
through illegal & immoral aggressive violence
or listen to a blue rodeo
Raise your filthy faux flag
higher higher ever higher
to hover over the rising pile where the butchered lie
however
dear good christian citizens
no civic rag
could ever soar over
the sick slaying of the innocent
the accumulating abominations of flag-pledged atrocities
Appraise Fallujah
surrounded & caged
as the cowering cringing unarmed civilian inhabitants
are shot, burned & barbequed
like slaughtered sitting ducks
in a ‘free-fire zone’ shooting gallery
Ponder
upon your sanctimonious attack
at a school in Bajour
where 69 children are massacred by joystick
as you deceive yourself
into believing
it did not happen
washing your hands
turning as you walk away
This is Sand Creek
Wounded Knee
My Lai
Haditha
too many other mass-media
contorted & distorted great triumphs
To whit
no doubt in my mind
the next war crime called
a ‘battle’
or a ‘humanitarian bombing’
will be patriotically anointed too
sanctioned of course
by church state and school
the old lie
ta ta…
i am not worthy
nor deluded
to be Christian
Buddhist
Muslim
nor Hindu
or Jew
Still i aspire
to be spirtitual
to become inclusive
to instintinfly be
kind
calm
generous
honest
i am black
white
red
brown
everything
in between
shades of grey
i am
warrior
peacemaker
fool
wise-man
from who knows when
My feet are mired
in the slime
yet i reach
farther than my grasp
towards the stars
to the end of my navel
i eschew mammonism
as i overindulge
yet
i aspire
i aspire
My love knows no bounds
but i despise my own
eschew companionship
i am man,woman and child
yet older than dust
young as today
i strive for peace
as i war upon humanity
i feed the hungry
and house the homeless
as i spend the future
for the weapons of terrorism
i am humanity
such a paradoxical fool
i snub my neighbor
as i lust after his wife
i sacrifice to a mythical maker
as i foul this nest
i mourn for the wrong
i did yesterday
as i conspire for more
for today
i am new,the latest
still here and now
it might be soon be over
for i talked the talk
with eloquence and such bravado and pride
but my actions
were insidious,odious and self-serving
still here i am
at the cusp of the abyss..teetering
i
we
are humanity
and are days are short
for our end
is just around the flying rocks
any day
it goes up in flames
what if
no one
left here
to tell our tale?

Just look at the word. Soldier. S.O.L. DIER. You’re shit outta luck, and you’re there to die. And THEY DON’T CARE!
“Aargh!
This video can’t be played with your current setup.”
What does that mean? What do I need for a Macbook running OS X 10.11.2?
no sound using 10.11.6

I’m afraid even the Coast Guard spends a lot of time as a tool in the “war on drugs” in addition to search and rescue.
Truth, is Justice in Action.
Not to mention you are being sent off to make greedy criminals even richer, by killing mostly innocent women, children and men.
Hello,
Can this video be uploaded to YouTube for further outreach?
