Look, don't get me wrong. I don't hate soldiers. Someone has to do it, and I respect any individual who wears the uniform. What I don't respect is what those soldiers are being ordered to do by our corporate prostitute politicians: basically, subjugate other cultures in order to make them safe for corporate pillaging. It's about the money. It's all about the money. I understand that you didn't sign up for that purpose, but that is what you're being ordered to do. It's not tinfoil hattery, it's not conspiracy. It's completely obvious to anyone willing to look at the situation objectively. Why the hell would we spend trillions of dollars to occupy two countries to "democratize" them? Why those two countries specifically? Why don't we do the same thing in Africa? I'll tell you why: Iraq and Afghanistan have a shitload of extremely profitable resources.
Quick history quiz. You're a Marine, you tell me the official reason why the US fought in the Boxer Rebellion in China. Then I'll tell you the truth of why we fought there.
