Militant MadAmerika | Philip A Farruggio
Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust
From the Nov. 4 USA Today cover: “Elite warriors lost without war… For many highly trained ‘killing machines,‘ returning to civilian life is difficult and frightening.”
This writer is not making this up, and this is not from some Saturday Night Livescript! No, on the contrary, this is just how far our nation has regressed into a militant mindset, whereupon war is the natural course of things.
The quintessential question is this: Where are we now at war? It seems that, ever since the last real war our nation engaged in, WWII, this empire has always been militarily involved overseas… but were they really wars? Korea and Vietnam were what our empire’s leaders like to refer to as "Police Actions," shipping our young soldiers into harm’s way to support covert and overt foreign policy decisions.
As our constitution dictates that Congress alone must declare war on another nation, the aforementioned military excursions were not wars! The only wars in both cases were civil wars between the peoples of those two countries.
