At Stanford, the “anti-war” activists pretending to oppose the reintroduction of the militaristic ROTC program at that university, say that they “appreciate what the military does for us.”
So, they “appreciate” the mass murder of innocent civilians in undeclared (and thus unconstitutional) wars of aggression? They “appreciate” the Global Crusade to spread “Democracy” to people who don’t want it (isn’t it undemocratic to force “democracy” on people who don’t want it?)? Despite the claims of the militarists, the military has never done anything to “protect our freedom.” The military tried unsuccessfully to invade Canada (War of 1812), stole half of Mexico (the Mexican War; thus, one can hardly blame the “illegals” for wanting to reclaim land that was stolen from “their” country), forced a breakaway region that attempted to become independent as was its right under the Constitution to remain part of the Empire (Dishonest Abe Lincoln’s War of Northern Aggression), stole land from the Native Americans (the “Indian” Wars), conquered the remnant of the Spanish Empire, carried out a genocide in the Philippines to prevent Filipino Independence (Philippine-American War), aided Britain and France’s war of aggression against the German-speaking nations (World War I, the first Crusade for Democracy, a term used by the Old Right opponents of that war) and then fought another war to try to fix the mess they enabled Britain and France to create (World War II; this War ended after the only 2 uses of nuclear weapons in history against the Japanese as they were trying to surrender), an illegal UN war in Korea (Korean War), the war to try to prevent Vietnamese self-determination (the Vietnam War), the double-cross of Saddam Hussein (First Gulf War; this began after Saddam invaded Kuwait with Bush’s permission; Bush then decided to attack Saddam, crippling Iraq), the “humanitarian” wars to improve Slick Bill Clinton’s poll numbers (Bosnia, Kosovo etc.), and Bush’s wars of aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq. At the moment, the War Party is projecting itself onto Iran (Iran has no nukes and there is no evidence whatsoever of an Iranian nuclear weapons program; furthermore, Iran has not attacked anybody in centuries, probably since the days of the Persian invasion of Greece around 25 centuries ago; yet, nuclear Israel, which carries out periodic ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians and routinely steals even more Palestinian land for those “settlements”, and nuclear USA, the world’s 2 leading rogue states, project themselves unto the Iranians).
Can anybody who “appreciates” the military of a rogue state and what they do for that terrorist nation’s subjects seriously claim to be an “anti-war” activist?
By the way, I am NOT “anti-American” as I believe in the principles upon which this nation was founded, including an America First foreign policy of non-intervention. Those who are truly “unAmerican” are the warmongers, because they advocate a foreign policy that is the opposite of what George Washington advocated in his Farewell Address.
