Vem blir förvånad med tanke på deras korta historia....
USA war history list
you but we need to look closely at our Myths....and refuse to die for money to advance the causes of the greedy who spin us lies about serving "Our Country" when they are really saying "help us stay in control and we will share a bit of our blood money with you"
I lost my only brother in Viet Nam , he died on Tax Day April 15th 1971, he was my baby brother and I miss him so much and it pains me to have found out that he died for lies............so I will say Prayers for all the dead men and women who were lied to and died ......and this is my prayer, may you come again to be born into a World of Love, Beauty and Peace so that you may laugh, Love and Dance once again......
Ever wonder why? We know that dogs wear "dog tags" but why do we imply that our military servicemen are dogs ?!?!
"Military men are just dumb stupid animals, to be used as pawns in foreign policy-- Henry Kissinger
Etymology The word soldier is derived from an Old French word, itself a derivation of Solidarius, Latin for someone who served in the armed forces for pay, as opposed to warriors in tribal society where every grown man is automatically a member of his clan's fighting force Solidare in Latin means "to pay"; Roman soldiers were paid in solidi, so-called because they were a new type of solid gold coin brought in after a reform of the Roman money system
