The media and the politicians in this country tell us that people in the middle east are all “terrorists”.  These people are portrayed as murderers who want to kill us because of our so called freedom.  When kids grow up learning this and join the military at 18, what else do you expect from them? They’re conditioned this way, a product of their environment.  They’re just being “patriotic” and “heroic” and getting out some anger at the same time.

But think about it, what the FUCK are we fighting for really?  The war on “terror” is such a fucking joke.  You’re not protecting our freedom, although you may have been brainwashed to think otherwise.  If anything, back at home we’re LOSING freedom at the hand of the same people that sent you over there to die in the first place (Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act, etc).  

Of course the troops are being brave and sacrificing a great deal- in the sense that they’re risking their lives for this!  I’m not denying that.  But my point is to make every soldier question WHY they are doing this?  What are they REALLY fighting for?  Sacrificing your life for a unjust cause is not praiseworthy.

So no, I do not fucking support this war, and I will never support any war.  And I do not support the troops.  That might be a taboo thing to say, but I could not care less.  It needs to be said.  I support the victimized, brainwashed kids inside the uniforms.  I support helping them to realize that they are merely a tool, an extension, of their corrupt government.  I support them as people but not as soldiers.  ”Just following orders” is not an excuse.  It’s a terribly hard thing to break from the mold, to speak up, but it needs to be done.

To most of the world, we are the terrorists.
