I was in the USAF for ten years. My dad was in Army for 30 years, so I really grew up with military culture. Our house was decorated with pictures of cannons, flags, and military awards. I possessed various T Shirts that had rhetoric like "Freedom Isn't Free."

I have been involved with a veterans group that meets monthly and discusses military matters like PTSD or military history.

I have to admit, this Great Awakening has really shaken my military pride. I wonder "which of the wars were about securing freedom, and which were about just enriching the Rothschild's?"

911 which led to the Iraq War (4500 Americans killed, 151,000 Iraqis killed) and the Afghan War (2500 Americans killed, 51,000 Afghans killed) was 100 percent an created. Was there a damn thing noble about it?

What about the rest of the wars of the 20th century? Were they all planned by the Central Bank? Was the Central Bank working with both sides of the wars every time? If so, is there anything at all to be celebrate? Or that we were all a bunch of dummies that fell for the tricks of the Central Bank and a lot of people died for it?

It's like if a servant spends his life carrying medicine across the treacherous desert to give to a hospital for sick children. After 20 years, he learns that wasn't a hospital, it was actually a mafia outpost, and it wasn't medicine he was carrying, it was poison. The man will continue to spend the rest of his life justifying his sacrifices saying "Well, I know it was noble I spent my life doing, and much good came from it."

It's a really dark and depressing thing to say, but unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's mostly true.

Wondering if anyone else here with military background that's feeling this way now?
