The only ones that have benefited from American aggression, and the crimes committed against all the peoples around the world, from Vietnam to Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan, and on and on through America’s decades of endless wars, are the power-brokers and profiteers that picked the fights in the first place. To join a military that we all now know is involved in illegal wars and occupations is an act against humanity.
On this Memorial Day, remember the reality of America’s wars, not the romanticized fiction that the propaganda mills spew out. Remember all those that have lost their lives, not just your compatriots who died, or lost limbs, while trying to kill others. The information is out there. The facts are accessible. Soldiers are no longer misinformed, victimized, heroic, patriots… they are accessories. The denial of reality does not make the carnage acceptable. The blood cannot be wiped from your hands with the flag.

As Smedley Butler put it, War is a Racket. A terrible, bloody, but extremely profitable racket.
