    Matthew, the military teaches its soldiers to obey without question. That is what makes it effective. To achieve this they must break the man like they break a horse. You lose your individuality, your freedom of action, your ability to question, even reason.

    Soldiers are brainwashed, but it doesn't compare to the trauma most experience being on the front of a real war. Having lost their moral compass they are forced to kill people without any conscience.

    Modern warfare isolates the killer from his prey, even turning it into a hi-tech game. But guerilla warfare whether in jungles or middle east medinas levels the playing field. To survive, killing becomes an instinct.

    In other words soldiers don't feel shit cause they've been programmed not to. This attitude is reinforced for as long as they remain on active duty. However once they return to their "home" and "civilization", they are lost once again. Distinguishing between good and evil, enemy and friend are no longer adequate survival tools. Their support group is gone, and their kill skills won't get them a job at walmart.

    I feel for these people because they are victims as well as perps. And their leaders are guilty of crimes against humanity, and their own people but will never be tried. And thus this scenario will play itself out again and again, generation after generation.

    There's new suckers born every minute.

    No Bush is NOT a soldier who "moved up in rank". He is a spoiled child born with a silver spoon. He never had to get down in the trenches with the common man. He is a man apart and therefore can never represent the aspirations of most Americans.

    The buck stops somewhere, but it really it's not all Bush's fault, but the American people who must own up to their responsibility no less than Germans had to reconcile their support for a government just as guilty of agressive imperialism, human rights violations, torture, and only God and Cheney know what else...

    At least the Germans were NEVER as incompetent as the Republicans.

    The Idea of GWB being any kind of a soldier is very close to the most obscene thing I have ever heard. None of our leaders knows the lives of the common person that is the problem with the current corporate dictatorship. America needs a return to some kind of populist movement.

    Isn't that exactly what the military does?

    It dehumanizes young men and women so that they can become unthinking killers.

    Don't blame that shit on me!

    Matthew, here's a typical report of how unconcerned soldiers are about the consequences of their actions. (In this case the use of flesh burning phosporous bombs in Falluja that are chemical weapons, violating Geneva Conventions)

    As you can see soldiers treat people as objects to be attacked and destroyed. Where is THEIR humanity?

    The US and every other army I know of have used flame weapons (which are against the Geneva Convention) in ever war we had since the Germans introduced flamethrowers in WWI. I believe that the troops serving in Iraq are no worse or better that the boys I saw in Vietnam. The training for war and war itself dehumanizes men. It has always been thus. During WWII Life magazine published a photo of a young girl proudly holding a Japanese skull. Her boyfriend had mailed it to her from Guadalcanal. There was no major outcry against the action. Wars have always sucked. The objective must be to stop having them. I think that the young men in Iraq are mislead and serving an unjust cause. However, I think that vilifying them is both wrong and nonproductive. The mortar crew that skip describes in his post did not go out of their way to look at their targets. Who in their right mind would, the stuff you have to see is bad enough without sightseeing. The few people I served with that liked seeing dead folks were sick indeed. You just had sort of a guilty elation that it was them not you. The war in Iraq will cost the US much in blood, treasure, and loss of face. However, it has to be used to provide information and gather recruits to try again to stop war.

    HippiePaul: Are those skulls still available? How much? I guess I have to know someone. Do you know anyone? All info will be kept strictly confidential.


    I could put them in-between all my deer skulls-- how cool!

    Nah, my ex-wife is still alive, we do the dirty-dance every so often and my poor ole hounds are buried with a hand-and-hammer-and-chisel-and stone marking their grave.


    Good try, but it will take more than that to piss me off!

    Don't stop by any means! A man is usually defined by his enemies!

    Any major anatomical supply house will sell you a skull. You need an educational letterhead but they probably do not check to hard if you front the money. Some states have laws against misuse of human remains so you might want to be somewhat covert with your display.

    it's not a hunt unless you have something to shoot at.Not trying to piss you off,you just seem to have the same deranged humer as me.As a wise man once said"better pissed off than pissed on"but that all depends on who's doing the pissing.Did your dog ever piss on you?

    misquote:
    Sorry that's the best i could do at this hour.Did you know the great liberal nixon ,signed the endangered species act,made friends with china,and ended our part in viet namn.His biggest problem was that he believed that the end justified the means,which though probably right,got him in a hell of alot of trouble.Hows that for a pinko commie(me)?

    I've never spat on, nor disrespected, ANY Vietnam soldier, or veteran! I have relatives in the military, including the Pentagon. Most Americans do. It's not very hip, peace and love, to disrespect soldiers. Unconditional love means love with NO conditions! I respect people that die for their beliefs, even if they don't match mine. That's what FREEDOM is all about!

    You don't have to agree with the WAR MAKERS, though! They are the chess players and soldiers (and us) are mere pawns to them. Vietnam soldiers and veterans should've at least got a big hug, and a "Welcome home, brother!". It's only human. Take your issues to the SOURCE, i.e. the WAR MAKERS and FINANCERS. Who benefits? They make tons of money in arms sales, and less people, mean better control. Follow the money trails. Profits before people. Pure MACHIAVELLIIAN in concept. Are our EYES WIDE SHUT?

    I wasn't a "draft dodger", as I still have my original draft card. I was younger and very near-sighted, so I wasn't chosen to go. Their choice.

    I didn't think "anti-war" protests were very effective, either. We're still at war!!! With all of the wars we've had, are we "safer"? When are we safe? In October of 1965, Ken Kesey (of "The Merry Pranksters' and the "Acid Tests") spoke (with microphone in hand) at the Berkeley Vietnam Day rally (close to 15,000 people) in his Day-Glo helmet and windbreaker and stated that wars have been fought for ten thousand years and weren't going to change anything by parading around with signs and slogans. He shocked them with the truth. Plus, it hurts to have your head billy-clubbed and tear gas just don't smell good! Not MY thing, man!

    However, I WAS a "conscientious objector". Why? Remember the old news stories about dope being smuggled in the bodies and/or coffins of dead 'Nam soldiers? I remember. Who'd look in there? Are your eyes WIDE SHUT? Now, that's disrespectful! Years later, we get the IRAN/CONTRA thing. What, George W. Bush Sr. (CIA), Ollie North and company running drugs and guns for the CIA? Financing BLACK OPS secret projects? Why? By using TAX money, records are usually kept and that would blow the "secret" aspect of BLACK OPS. Logical. That's all I want to say about this, as it seems dangerous territory to get into, BUT these were MAJOR news stories, and made public. Just a drug war, like Afghanistan. However, Vietnam had some uranium deposits, also.

    The Iraq war is about oil drilling diputes, and/or about Iraq trading in PETROEUROS. instead of PETRODOLLARS. Arab oil companies (under American oil companies) were "angle-drilling" into Iraq's oil fields and "stole" billions in oil revenues! Iraq found out. OOOPS! Time for the Machiavelliian principle again. Cover up! (See: "Schwarz-Luttwak's Coup D'Etat-A Practical Handbook, From Karl W. B. Schwarz, LINK: www.rense.com/general68/prac.htm).

    To prevent the U.S. DOLLAR, FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM and U.S. ECONOMY from total collapse, caused by IRAQ and IRAN trading in EUROS, instead of U.S. DOLLARS, for OIL, the USA had to go to war to prevent this from happening! (See: "Revisited - The Real Reasons for the Upcoming War with Iraq", by Willaim Clark, LINK: www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.html), plus: "The approaching war with Iran: Part I", by ED HAAS - MUCKRAKER REPORT, LINK: www.teamliberty.net/id209.html, and "The approaching war with Iran: Part II", by ED HAAS - MUCKRACKER REPORT, LINK: www.teamliberty.net/id215.html). Are our EYES WIDE SHUT?

    Wars are usually fought in countries who have valuable natural resources, like petroleum and drugs, and/or over financial control through money! The Middle East is plentiful in petroleum and drugs! The "Golden Triangle of Drugs". BIG money makers! In GOD, they trust: Gold (money), Oil (plus gasoline and natural gas) and Drugs. "Politics" is just a smokescreen, a diversion. This is similar to two animals fighting over a piece of meat! Ants are notorious for waring amongst themselves. ARMY ants? Look how small their brains are, man! WAR MAKERS (with a grain of sand brain, like ants) are REAL HIGH on the old evolutionary (or creation) scale!

    WAR MAKERS love to have WARGASMS!!! They feel soooooo good! My, that Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile is so BIG and POWERFUL!!! Phallic symbol? Is war the release of sexual energy (toward a non-sexual direction)? Or is it just displaced aggression? Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) or Weapons of Masterbation! Missiles, rockets, bombs, bullets, guns and the "nuclear mushroom cloud" are all phallic symbols! An extension of male sexuality, just as the car is an extension of our feet, the phone is an extension of our ears, the telescope is an extension of our eyes and the computer is an extension of our brains! (BOOK: The Medium is the Message, by Marshall McLuhan-"The High Priest of Pop Culture.")

    I have a psychology book that has a picture of Adolph Hitler, with the title: PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC. Hitler authored THE ENABLING ACT, which is what the PATRIOT ACTS are based upon, thus, by logical deduction (my Dear Watson, says Sherlock Holmes), the authors of the PATRIOT ACTS must also be PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC. Terrorists are EVERYWHERE! Everywhere I tell you! They're in the woodwork! They're after me! There are bombs in shoes and bras! Sure there are REAL TERRORISTS, but this is over-kill, done in the wrong way. Control by FEAR, again! We need a SANE security and defense system, not one based on LUNACY! That royal bloodline thing just amplifies genetic defects. Too much inbreeding! More LUNACY, but amplified with genetics! King George II (Bush) has drunk from the poisoned well, and expects us to drink from it, as well, so that we can also become entranced from his poison dreams. (This is the old King drinking from the poisoned well fable/analogy.)

    How about an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) diagsnosis for A New World Order (NWO)? That would make it the New World Disorder (NWD)! Remember, a rigid stick will snap in the wind (i.e. "set in their ways"), while a flexible stick will endure the strongest winds (of change). Charles Darwin stated that those most likely to survive, are the ones who can "adapt" to rapid changes in the environment. Intelligence wasn't as important! How many "primitive" lifeforms are still living on Earth? We'll blow ourselves up, but cockroaches will still be here! So, it's not always intelligent, to do the intelligent thing! One must do the "adaptive" thing! High tech and mind control crap cannot overcome the spirit, because the spirit is the matrix which defines high tech. It becomes as a sand castle, washed away by the tide.

    We should be "child-like", but not "childish", i.e. imaginative and easily adaptable to new things. The hippies were criticized for being like children. The New World Order fears drastic earth and climate changes, because they are too "inflexible" to adapt to them and would perish! How about Delusions of Grandeur? Gods made of tin. Though shall not have false Gods before me! We need SENSIBLE management of natural resources on our planet! Das ist mein zyco-analysis-Ziggy "stardust" Freud (Sigmund Freud-founder of psychoanalysis). I've thought about a career in the field of psychology/psychiatry. Its fun to add humor to get a point across.

    The military aren't happy about a President who is just an AWOL National Guardsman, plus cuts Veteran funding! Harry S. Truman and General Douglas McArthur were always clashing, during The Korean War (conflict). The civil and military branches of our government, don't always "see eye to eye". There have been internet talk about our military revolting against the civil branch of our government (www.rense.com/general49/no911.htm). OLD AMERICA vs. GLOBALISM!

    Hippies talked about "Money means nothing to me, man!" Spiritualism and brotherhood, over materialism. Love and peace as opposed to war. Man does not live by bread alone. Unfortunately, we must have some sort of goods and services exchange. Barter, money or "cyber-space" credits (as in the coming "cashless society"). There's alot of corruption potential in cyber-space. Electronic voting, also.

    WARS (and conflicts) and FEAR are the main control mechanisms of the ruling elite, going back thousands of years. MONEY (and later banking) has been added as a newer way. If you mess around with the MONEY SYSTEM or WAR MACHINE (which produces alot of money in arms sales and helps control population), you're in SERIOUS TROUBLE! The hippies went against both, simultaneously, thus, "bad press", billy-clubbing and tear-gassing. Lincoln, Hitler and Kennedy went AGAINST the bankers and what happened to them? How long did confederate money last? The Assassination of John F. Kennedy and the Federal Reserve Bank, by Wes Penre, NOV. 22, 2003 (www.illuminati-news.com/kennedy-assassin.htm). QUOTE: "The attempt to end the Vietnam War (which was a very profitable war for the bankers) by 1965 would severly have cut the profits of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank and the banking establishment." Profits before people. Are our EYES WIDE SHUT?

    Money is not bad, for what it is and represents. We need some system of goods and services exchange, but we're heading toward the ancient FEUDAL SYSTEM, where the few have it all and the serfs (us poor slaves) have very little. NO MIDDLE CLASS!

    It's been said: Money and power go hand in hand. Money is the root of all evil (partially true) and POWER CORRUPTS! The Rothschilds ($100 trillion in assets) cared not what people believed, and thought, they just wanted control of everyone's money systems! The Rothschilds and Rockefellers control almost all of the world's money systems, EXCEPT the ROGUE NATIONS we're fighting now, or will fight, like: Iraq, Iran, Syria, N. Korea and Cuba. These nations are also mostly COMMUNIST, or receive arms from RUSSIA and CHINA.

    The international bankers (who have hidden advanced sciences, funded with their huge cash reserves) claim to make the world a better place to live, with a One World Government, of the New World Order (goes back to Caesar NERO). They desire a "paradise" Earth, just like we do, but they want it through THEOCRACY (fascism). We want an alternative way to achieve this. Who is right?

    Money controls us through DEBT (or negative money). When you're in a state of debt, you always "owe" them. The MASTER SLAVE card - a lifetime of financial slavery! When you can't pay, they "steal" your resources. Argentina figured this out and is revolting! We should have mortgages only. LINKS:

    More facts, than speculation, here. Lengthy articles. Are our EYES WIDE SHUT?

    Wars control us through the ancient Machiavelliian concept (divide and conquer), or what David Icke calls: PROBLEM>REACTION>SOLUTION. William Cooper (Air Force/Navy/Naval Security and Intelligence) mentions the HEGELIAN conflict/resolution principle (from pre-Christ times).

    "This is a "CIA modified" "Hegelian Dialectic" technique. In other words, if you want society to become something different than it is, you must set up the conditions which will bring about the desired results. The German philospher, Frederic Hegel called it: Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. The CIA calls it: Crisis Creation, Crisis Solution, Crisis Control. (Navy Captain Trenton Parker describes how the CIA uses this technique in foreign countries to influence politics)." OPERATION OPEN EYES MIND CONTROL IN AMERIKA - Five Easy Steps To Create A Manchurian Candidate, Written by Gunther Russbacher (CIA, ONI, SR-71 BLACKBIRD pilot)
    www.rumormillnews.com/operation.htm

    The MACHIAVELLIAN (Niccolo Machiavelli, Italian 16th century philosopher, authored literary classics on his principles, for use by princes for ruling over people) concept, is as follows: To obtain a desired SOLUTION, the perpetrator sets up a PROBLEM, for which the populace REACTS to. The perpetrator MUST NOT let the populace know that he or she has caused the PROBLEM in the first place, or it doesn't work! It back-fires! Are our EYES WIDE SHUT?

    Many over the whole world claim (with mountains of evidence) that 9/11 was pure Machiavelliian. A CNN QUICKVOTE asked: Do you believe there is a U.S. government cover-up surrounding 9/11? Out of 8,582 votes: 90% (7,747 votes) said YES! I'm not going to get into the 9/11 thing here. Do your own research. Figure it out for yourselves. Ask: Who benefits? Who benefits politically and/or financially? Follow the money trails.

    Are these POWERFUL, GREEDY men only? Fundamental Christians believe that Satan/Lucifer is behind these men. The UFO/alien people (New Agers?) believe that reptilian aliens ("reptoids") are behind them (similar concept). A variation is that "benevolent aliens" came to help mankind, but they got involved with the POWER game and stayed. We corrupted them! Or is it just our "genetics", like apes and ants? Can we evolve past waring? Many theories, and little answers.

    Hippies in the 60's/70's were at odds with the "Industrial-Military Complex", the "Establishment", or "the MAN" (Finklestein, fictional hippie on "Darma and Greg"). Back then they got billy-clubbings and tear-gassings. Today with "Iraq-NAM" (history repeats itself), protesters usually get "shunned" (an Amish term for ignoring people, to punish them, as if they just don't exist anymore) by the MAINSTREAM MEDIA (but NOT INTERNET BLOG news sites), like: CNN-CIA News Network or FOX NEWS (FAUX NEWS-Mossad, according to ASIA TIMES, www.rense.com/general59/foxx.htm ). FAUX means "imitation", like a Faux Fur (made from plastic fibers). However, sometimes today's protestors are arrested, but mostly ignored. Out of sight, out of mind. Now, MILITIA and PATRIOT groups are at odds with the New World Order. It's INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM vs. GLOBAL FASCISM!

    "All is FAIR, in LOVE and WAR."

    "UNITED we stand, DIVIDED we fall!"

    Peace, love and understanding . . .

    No...i agree that they become detached to a degree.. but i am talking about afterwards ..when they come home. When you see tears in ex soldiers eyes, whats that all about 'shame' .. ? possibly , but not entirely.. i dunno..thats why i ask. I don't think you are being that fair .

    I would not dream of it.


    I would like you you to show me what part of the Geneva convetion it is violating..?.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200511/s1508598.htm

    I agree they treat the people that are killing them as no more than 'objects' the same way they are treated..
    That is being detached and not 'panicking' as to protect yourself or those around you from being killed...There humanity is trying to prevent the insurgency from killing civillians ... They show more humanity in one little finger ..than those that blow there fellow countrymen/women/children up on a daily basis..
