So veterans are wondering if the Gov't is more interested in photo OPS with the dead than they are with them?
There's no real "wondering" needed, it's reality. My father was wounded twice during WW2 but because the shrapnel never hit a bone he got no pension. The problem was the wounds did cut arteries and veins and he always had problems with the one leg and it eventually cost him his leg. However another soldier we knew, same war, hurt his back, not that one would ever know, he was able to do anything. How did he hurt his back? Well he and some other soldiers had gone to sleep in a bombed our house and one of them had the idea of getting some beer. So they searched the area and found a pub and stole a couple of kegs of beer. On the way up the staircase of the bombed out house carrying a keg of beer he fell all the way down the staircase. Instant pension for the rest of his life and he lived to about 83.
Soldiers are less and less being used for what they were intended for originally. A soldier was meant to protect their country but now they are being used too often as muscle men and women for big business. Sure they and the public are given the story that they have gone to "save the people' and there is a microscopic element of truth in that, but if we did deep enough we find the real reasons. This is not the Magnificent Seven riding into town to save the villagers and then leaving empty handed when the job is done. These are soldiers leaving empty handed while big business and politicians move in to do what they really came there for. At one time the greed and use of soldiers for that greed came from kings and queens but now it's business and politicians. Then when the soldier is done being used, they are forgotten about because taking care of them is not 'cost effective'. I also read two articles a few months ago and one said that 27% of US soldiers return and cannot find jobs. Many are on the street. No stats of course for Canada. Also in the US one recruitment office was asked to leave a college when the college finally clued in that what the recruiting officers were telling the students were lies and they were only preying on the disenfranchised students promising them training and careers when they joined and for a majority that never came to reality.
Average ordinary people no matter where they are, do not want war. But they are lied to and manipulated by politicians and big business and other power hungry people. It's a deadly game and people are just pawns. It is no secret that psychopaths are drawn to powerful positions in society from political to business to military leadership and they fill the definition well..............
"Superficially charming, psychopaths tend to make a good first impression on others and often strike observers as remarkably normal. Yet they are self-centered, dishonest and undependable, and at times they engage in irresponsible behavior for no apparent reason other than the sheer fun of it... Psychopaths routinely offer excuses for their reckless and often outrageous actions, placing blame on others instead."
Dr Martha Stout a clinical psychologist at Harvard said: "the terms psychopath and sociopath conjured up image of mass murderers and serial killers. As it turns out, the majority of sociopaths/psychopaths never kill anyone with their own hands, nor do they end up in prison,". A smart sociopath can avoid prison and find other, less conspicuous ways to satisfy his or her lust for dominating and controlling others, and what better way than through politics and big business?"
