So many of our troops lives and efforts have been wasted on our country's wars and occupations of other nations. The loss of this soldier is a needless tragedy like many others, in this 'vindictive war' with no end.

Statistically we are losing more troops to suicide than to the 'so called enemy' in a war that can never be won and is hurting us more than the enemy. Our government uses the sacrifice and valor of our troops as camoflage for what we have become as a nation

Wars are sometimes neccessary, yet we must remember that.... when fighting monsters a monster you may become.

Our troops are not brainwashed, but we are conditioned to accept certain false concepts to be true.

We are the good guys? yet fail to recall the fact that our military has killed far more innocent civilians by accident than the terrorists have killed on purpose.

Count the nations we have attacked and bombed in the name of peace....go ahead start with Yemen and work yourself up thru the alphabet to Hanoi, Hiroshima or Bagdad, Beruit or Berlin, keep going, we bomb far more than any other nation.

This nation is war addicted , if we did not have an enemy we would invent one to keep our outrageous military spending on track.

We live by the sword ourselves, yet claim others as evil, when they do the same.

We need to ask the question if they are terrorists then what are we? Our B52's, Smart bombs and Drones are definite weapons of terror. We are high tech terrorists being worn down by low tech terrorists in THEIR country. The USA does not own the world, we cannot even protect our own citizens on our own streets.

Over 15,000 Americans were killed by other Americans last year on our streets..we call that PEACE?

Perhaps our military needs to address the war at home and get out of nations that they cannot control.

We are not a Christian nation..we are a violent vindictive nation choking on our own mistakes at the cost of our troops.

We are our own worst enemy, a nation addicted to entertainment and glory yet stumbling into the future with no compass or vision.
