Reply #12: It makes me wonder. [View All]

I have a 21 year old cousin who supports the war but instead of fighting he's in college on a fast track in accounting so he can rub elbows with corporate elitist. I wonder how he would react if he had to give up everything, drop out of college, pick up a rifle, and maybe suffer a serious injury and live by himself a shabby studio apartment for the rest of his life, all to benefit to corporate elitists who he is so eager to please.

Who would he support if there were a war that was worth fighting, a war against the corporate elitists who force 99% of the planet into indentured servitude where they have no choice but to work 80+ hours a week just to keep a roof over their heads. Would he be on the side of the people or would he be slaughtering people who truly are fighting for freedom.

One of the most just wars in U.S. history was the Revolutionary Wat but now we are back on the side of the rule of England. The best way to support our troops would be to re-declare our independence from this kind of imperialism.
