like I said...i'll repeat it for you.
War is MULTIFACETED.
Military Operations are ONE facet.
Even with no military, War will continue.
as a matter of fact...all countries are already reducing / restructuring their military as they are impractical in the modern world. but no one believes in the fairy tale of no war because it is not sane.
that NATO operation in Afghanistan has gone on for 11 years; longer than WWI and II combined and military operations play a minimal role.
the only reason people need to be able to blame soldiers is because if they don't; they have to blame themselves.
and y'all are never wrong.

I was going through my past Facebook timeline, and came across a video I'd linked from YouTube last year.
It highlights the parallels that exist between contemporary America and Canada, and Nazi Germany. It also clearly shows the role that adulation of the military has played in both cases.

Some of you military bashers need to put your heads on straight.
Fact: Politicians and Lawmakers and by extension the people that elected them are responsible for the wars.
the soldiers that fight in them do what is asked of them and are not capable starting a war;
And if nobody joined the military, they'd have nobody to send.

Unfortunately they want you out of the way because you think for yourself.The eastern armies are also indoctrinated in the words "Might makes right" without defenses they would take what you have,kill you or enslave you.

By attrition of Al Quaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan where ever detected them we kill them.This has been a largely chaotic mission against an asymmetrical enemy that has had free reign to do as it pleases.Up to and including playing on western sympathies by hiding amongst civilians.It has been a success.However in doing so we have alienated Muslims who are of the opinion we hate them all when in fact I don't and most are in agreement.
We are now moving into a second cold war with China,with an operational and doctrinal shift to the Pacific to engage in a confrontation while the middle east is being put back in NATOS lap as Iran is to implode before they get nuke or we will destroy their abilities.
The Brotherhood thing to Israel is a bad idea and they are just showing a strong face I'm sure

Just face the facts, 80 % of the world is trained to kill and that's what they have been brainwashed to do, to fill the pockets of those controlling you all with strings! It is no rocket science to see this!

Someone somewhere is going to rise up and try to take away all your stuff. Now I know you and your fat lazy neighbors aren’t gunna get up off their dead fat asses to try to stop them. Someone else will be there to preserve the way of life you have grown accustom to. And that my lazy, fat, whining, bitchen, holier than thou wine drinkin, sign carryin, animal huggin, veggie eatn, anti-religion, communist “buddy”, you should apologize and and say thankyou. Just go back to livin the life and leave the others who have been entrusted to preserve your worthless life to live theirs.
