My apologies for bringing up an inconvenient, undeniable, and painful truth(s). (It doesn't please me either. I can understand if someone had never really thought and considered it, the statement can seem rather shocking.)
If someone could refute and disprove the statement and help educate me, I would appreciate it. The underlying point is that we need to be 100% certain who the real enemies are. The real causes of war lie way upstream of the people in uniforms so please don't misconstrue my statement as a blanket condemnation of the people wearing the uniforms, because quite the reverse is true. I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for the vast majority of these fine men and women. It is beyond extremely sad and unfortunate that the people wearing the uniforms have to be on the business end, the meatgrinder end of the situations created by people that are usually no where near the killing fields. So, who are the real enemies? I would say it is every military man and woman's responsibility and duty to seek and know the answer(s). Knowing these answers helps to prevent the following of unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional orders. (Here's a small and only partial clue: Some people/corporations/entities make billions of dollars and gain other spoils and profits from war. Who might they be and what do you think their proclivities towards war might be? Again, just a start.) Each of us are flesh, blood, heart, mind and soul with family and friends that love and care for us and we for them. (Heck, just look at this forum, we have friends all over the world. Pretty cool!) We should always do our best to never fall to the level of brainless automatons. Here are just a few of the people in uniforms for whom I have the utmost respect and appreciation: http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/ Gotta love 'em! Hey guys, despite what you may currently think, I like all of y'all and I like this forum. So I prefer to save further discussion on these issues for some other venue and I apologize for kinda' kicking it off. Therefore, most likely the last words (at least here at AA) are yours.

Yeah well, talk about war and government is always a touchy subject. Good idea to just drop it. Kinda bizarre how I started this thread just to reference ppl when they ask what I do. I get asked almost every time I'm in chat.

Taking pride in one's work and avocations.... nothing wrong with that!
I can appreciate it.

'If it wasn't for those "men in uniform" you wouldn't be here right now'
Indeed. My thoughts are with the families of the 2 young soldiers that were murdered here in Northern Ireland the week before last. It's a sad and depraved world we live in.
