When did being a proud American become a Crime? When did the defense of our Constitution and Bill of Rights become a Crime? When did being a former Soldier become a Crime in this country? When did upholding the Oath you took to defend your country from enemies both foreign and domestic become a crime? When did Americans decide we the former soldiers of this great country of ours are criminals IE (terrorists/extremists)?

I am sick to my stomach at the recent bastardizing and labeling of former Military Personnel, and our Proud Veterans of this country as criminals’ hell bent on destroying this nation of ours by the MSM. I am saddened by the MSM’s mission of making all Vets and Prior Military Personnel out to be the bad guys in this country. If you are a proud American and believe in your countries freedoms; then the time to make a stand is now. The stand I speak of is not an easy one; it is a long hard road of waking up others to the criminal takeover of this great country of ours. Stop sitting on your butts and just blogging your complaints; you need to be heard, make your voice a stand against those that would imprison you in your own home. If you believe that is simply nonsense, then you my friend are still asleep.

This great country of ours is being taken over by Big Banks and Corp. through their bought and paid for politicians. This country is being taken over by those that deem all prior military personnel as extremists or god forbid terrorists. The Freedoms we used to take for granted in this country were paid for in blood by all of the proud soldiers who gave their lives for your freedom. Will you allow their deaths to be in vain?

Stop the real terrorists in this country; the politicians that are passing Non Constitutional Laws in this country. Stop the real extremists in this country; the MSM that puts out the establishments criminal ideas. Stop the real Criminals in this country; the Financial Intuitions’ that are hell bent on destroying this great nation of ours through the devaluation of our currency.

I am MAD as Hell and I for one will not take it anymore!

I'm not a former soldier, but I support your statement 100%. I believe that the vast majority of soldiers are good people, and if they were enlightened to the truth of the criminal actions and intentions of their superiors, they would realize that they need to stop taking their orders, come back to the USA and set to protecting the people before it's too late.

I agree with you OP, wholeheartedly. I have friends and family in the military and I do not even for one second believe that all military personnel are horrible people or that it's even wrong to be a soldier in the first place. I have a lot of respect.

I can understand why anyone in the military who was proud of the service he was giving to his country would be upset about people trying to demonize soldiers and badmouth all of their efforts.

However, I had a recent run-around with someone I graduated high school with, who is an Iraq war veteran. I was speaking about how I was upset (not mad, just beside myself) about the stories I was hearing about things in Iraq and I'm not talking about WikiLeaks' video of the journalists being gunned down... that's just the newest to me... there's a lot of stories, footage, reports, first-hand accounts from veterans that go into great detail about injustices to innocent Iraqi civilians... When voicing how I felt bad about it, my friend decided to call me a number of names, including terrorist, satanist, and stated that I do not deserve the rights granted to me by the Constitution of this great nation.

I'm sorry, but that's where I get angry too. I was unaware that feeling for innocent civilians and supporting International Humanitarian Law was a crime... and that it makes me a terrorist... just wow.

I guess my point is that the war is such an incredibly touchy and sensitive subject to most people that it's very very easy for disagreements and indifferences to arise. But everything you said is absolutely right. Thanks for posting.

Absolutely we should not take it any more.

The way to not take it any more is to boycott the banks. They're public enemy number one. They're the ones controlling the politicians and dragging us into senseless wars in which untold numbers of innocent people get slaughtered so that the country gets into debt and the bankers can tighten their grip on us. Interest charged on funny money created out of nowhere has reduced America to poverty and slavery.

What we have to do is use cash, or even better get our local businesses to accept gold and silver as payment, or a local barter currency. There are already over 26,000 businesses that accept barter or silver or gold - there's a directory at opencurrency.com. There are probably many in your zip code.

We have to support these businesses. Use their local barter currency or some kind of sound money. Withdraw support from the existing monetary system. The existing system is on the verge of collapse. We can help it along, push up the price of gold and silver, bust the Comex and break the cruel and evil hold of the Rothschild Banking Empire over America.

I started to watch an old WWII movie the other day and I had to stop it. I was sickened by the glorification and trivialization of war and hurting other people. It is very sad that people, with good intentions, went of to kill other human beings who went off to war with the same good intentions. The sanctity of life and the sovereignty of the individual has been badly maligned for generations. As "awareness" grows, I hope people will question why harming another life is necessary and even justifiable. The military/x-military naively acted because they thought it was a good cause. They should not feel guilty at being suckered but they should feel ashamed at being fooled and angry with the NWO for using them as cattle to manufacture debt and dependency.

I am not American myself, but i commend you on your post and share your sentiments, because its not only an American issue.

It is up to us to become mad as hell (great Howard Beale quote by the way) and reclaim our countries from the cleptocrats and vultures who only seek their own profits no matter the costs.

I salute proud american citizens like yourself for having the balls to speak out their minds.

No one should take this anymore.

The problem is, there are people in the militery that are doing horrible things. We have seen evidence of this and its not the government telling them to do this. Its there lust for violence, thats all. But off course there are more decent people in the army just doing there job, but don't ignore the animals who have been raping,killing and and doing some horrible things.

But i tell you what i am sick and tired of, and that is this patriotic rubbish. This is the reason why this planet is so backward and primitive, and still dealing in tribal warfare. Why do we look at other countries as if they are some other species. We are all human beings on this small, beautiful planet, and we are destroying it, just for our lust for power.

I am british, but i dont give a crap about that, because im a human being, and thats how i see everyone. There is good and evil everywhere, in every country.

Wow. How many times have threads like this appeared on ATS?

MAD as HELL and I am not going to take it anymore!

But we all know .. that you are going to take it so why pretend that you are not?

We are all going to take it because, whilst there is a choice, we are all too chickensh#t to do anything about it.

So just lie down little man and let the big man roger you (that little man is all of us).
