(6,699 posts)..that did the same.
At times I'm ashamed I went. At other times I'm proud I went. But I am NEVER ignorant enough to believe that I ever went to protect my country, provide freedom, bring democracy, or any of that other bull shit that we have squeezed between our ears by the "big brother" that sends their loyal servants off to suffer and die for their selfish, greedy reasons.
I didn't make 365 days and a wake up. I lasted about two months, and I came home via Yokahama, where I was hospitalized for a month before I was sent stateside. What I witnessed opened my eyes to the horrors of war.
These evil sons of bitches that send young, brave and loyal men and women to fight their unjust wars should ALL be tried for treason, war crimes, and be publicly flogged; but we are a nation of ignorance that is controlled by propaganda from the media. A shame. I used to think it was the Soviet Union that was controlled. What a naive fool I was.
A sad day for those nearly 60,000 young men and women who didn't come home from that awful hell.
