The 2003 Iraq WMD intel was cooked to the say there were NO WMDs. Those now being used by Syria. It was either that or the convoluted path and eventual no-win end-game of thermo-nuke war with Russia. It was 11 RUSSIA trucks watched by US birds in 2003 taking out the RUSSIAN WMDs into Syria. The books were cooked to make US intel appear stupid and wrong to avoid WWIII. The press and Bush haters sucked it up with extra sauce. All useful idiots in the war game with Russia. Thank you press and Bush haters.
Fighting wars in the Middle East is like signing up for a subscription to never bring our troops back home. It sickens me.

Fighting wars in general...sickens me.
If we're only smart enough...all of us...to refuse military service...everyone....anywhere in the world.---there could be no conflicts. We would be inhabiting Alpha Centauri right now.
Sadly...we are a species of butchers and brainless retards.
Somebody picked up on that..and is using it to the max.

A 1996 article in The New York Times said that the Pentagon Papers had demonstrated, among other things, that the Johnson Administration "systematically lied, not only to the public but also to Congress."[3]
More specifically, the papers revealed that the U.S. had secretly enlarged the scale of the Vietnam War with the bombings of nearby Cambodia and Laos, coastal raids on North Vietnam, and Marine Corps attacks, none of which were reported in the mainstream media.[4]
For his disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg was initially charged with conspiracy, espionage and theft of government property, but the charges were later dropped after prosecutors investigating the Watergate Scandal soon discovered that the staff members in the Nixon White House had ordered the so-called White House Plumbers to engage in unlawful efforts to discredit Ellsberg.[5]
Except for a few countries, nobody forces anyone to join the military.
You may be hanging around with the wrong people, as the people I know are far from being a butcher, and definitely aren't brainless retards.

This doesn't really come as a shock that the data has been fudged. President Obama referred to ISIS as the "JV League" back in what, early 2014? Must be one heck of a scrimmage for them to be such a thorn in our sides for so long.

hey man..when you're called upon to defend your home..I'm all up for it. But enlisting voluntarily to go out fighting in some god forsaken hellhole...that's where I draw the line.
Just do me a favor and don't imply that all people who voluntarily join the military are "butchers and brainless retards" just because it doesn't align with your point of view.
