Stars & Stripes letter: "Think for yourself, question authority"

[lebkuchen]

Think for yourself

I am an Individual Ready Reserve call-back, or drafted soldier, same thing.

I come across too many people who agree that this war is a lie. How can any American soldier agree to side with our commander in chief? The billions wasted with little progress to show. Sure, you might say we have liberated the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein. OK, Saddam’s gone, and you can’t stop a terrorist. It’s impossible. You can maybe thwart a few plans here and there, but anybody with half a brain can carry out a terror plot.

Think about the money that was, and still is, being wasted here. I would have liked to have free health care in the United States. How about putting the money toward education? Helping your fellow man, your fellow American?

I don’t know why we are here; I speculate it’s about money and world trade, because it sure isn’t about “winning hearts and minds.” If it was, then why wouldn’t we fix our own government first?

1. Have you been reading my MIND, Sgt. Young?!?!?!?

I have been in the process of making up new Think for Yourself, Question Authority stickers to plaster all over town.

This has always been one of my favorite sayings. It kinda faded away for a while, so I thought it was about time to reintroduce it to the masses.....

This phrase was coined by none other than Timothy Leary, IIRC.....

I'll post my design after I'm finished with it.....

Thanks for posting this lebkuchen:hi:
