Don't support warriors and their wars. When parents sop sending their kids off to be sacrificial lambs on the altar of greed is when you are going to see a turnaround in this nation. Until then it's going to be like the bumper sticker I saw on the back of an SUV with a Marine Corps sticker on it as well. "killing is good business and business is good" I was floored when I saw it. Americans MUST break their chains to miltarism. It's time to pursue "strength through peace" as the 21st century demands. I’ve been censored twice making this comment but I’m going to try again.

This is the last verse of a poem called the “British Soldier”

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier _of_ the Queen!
