WARNING: Kill Me If You Can by Bob Miller is
considered inappropriate and banned from military exchanges by AAFES. - Publisher and
author both agree that since the Iraq War is divisive, the esprit de corps of our troops
is low and the desertion rate is high, Kill
Me If You Can might not be an appropriate read for active duty personnel. It
is unquestionably a controversial and a genuinely strange analysis of the Vietnam War and
the politics behind the war. But
the censorship of books and the media will not stop the truth, pain and debt from coming
ashore like one tsunami after another.
Young irreplaceable
Americans, getting a good education is a terrific way to serve your country. Don't die for
a lie. When George W. Bush said, "Mission Accomplished" he was talking about his
mission, not ours. Before you join the military, look around and tell me how many Support
the Troops bumper stickers and Yellow Ribbons you see now. Give me the name of
just one politician or officer who has been convicted of war crimes like our young
enlisted soldiers have. Allow me to save you some time; no politician or officer has
been convicted. Not one! Just young men and women like you are having to shoulder all the
blame for the wickedness of the White House, Pentagon, and CIA. This makes it clear that
while you are being asked to risk your life for us, we're not willing to curb our greed
for you. Our troops are nothing more than Big Oil rent-a-cops, they are considered expendable; and the 4,000+ KIAs are now considered collateral
damage compared to the economy. The Department of Defense
is not about defense; it's the military-industrial complex, or more appropriately, Weapons
of Mass Destruction Sales & Service. Listen to what a five star general and two
term president had to say about the greed of the Military-Industrial
Complex.
This might also be worth considering before
you risk you life for Big Oil and this Commander-In-Chief...
Fresno, Calif. AP - Forced to leave the combat
zone after his two brothers died in the Iraq war, Army Spc. Jason
Hubbard faced another battle once he returned home: The military cut off his family's
health care, stopped his G.I. educational subsidies and wanted him to repay his sign-up
bonus.
Washington (Reuters) - About 300,000 U.S. troops
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or
depression, but about half receive no care, an independent study said on Thursday.
Irreplaceable
Anti-war poem by
Bob Miller
Young irreplaceable one, it's no fun to kill
someone with a gun.
Don't believe the Pentagon
hype. They will use you like a condom, then toss you aside in the middle of the night.
Mom and Dad, we are not
talking about your car; you can't trust the man who wears the star.
If you are black, brown or
like me from the wrong side of town, you are going down.
Don't worry little sister,
they have no shame; they will include you in their war games.
It is Robin Hood in
reverse; trust me, it is well rehearsed; they have even bought the church.
From our savings and loans
they moved on. With Enron in their pocket, they took off like a rocket and now we are a
minority, and they are the moral majority.
You had better listen kid
or you might end up like my friend, dead. Or like me, sitting under a tree with a gallon
of port and P.T.S.D. Or even worse, in a bed wishing you were dead.
Young Americans, all I'm asking you to do before joining the
military is to get a second opinion. You might consider Vice President Cheney's reason for
not joining the armed forces. When asked why he had applied for so many Vietnam draft
deferments he said, "I had other priorities in the 60's than military service."
Then, of
course, there's the heart warming support you get from those who are asking you to die for
Israel's agenda like Henry Kissinger's famous endearing opinion, "Military men are
dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy."
I'm an Eisenhower
Republican, and I have nothing in common with
these Nixon thru Bush hypocrites who condemn abortion then cut the funding of every
program that cares for these unwanted children and their mothers. In the last eight years
while claiming to be pro-life they have needlessly slaughtered a million people, 4,000 of
them young Americans. Their claims of wanting less government and being conservative are
equally hypocritical. The $3 trillion proposed spending in 2009 by George W. Bush would be
the first time that milestone has been reached. Bush also presided over the first budget
to hit $2 trillion in 2002. It took the government nearly 200 years to reach the first $1
trillion budget, which occurred in 1987 during the Reagan administration.
It
is a fact that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are the purest examples of the ideologies
and trustworthiness of this ungodly and un-American group of empire builders calling
themselves Republicans. Young Americans, don't be a Big Oil
rent-a-cop, don't die for a lie.
Democracy
Took the Day Off is a very controversial speech by Bob Miller when it was extreamly
unpatriotic to question George W. Bush. Bob Miller, like Chalmers Johnson, Noam Chomsky,
and Webster G. Tarpley, has been warning Americans about the cost of an empire for years.
I believe it is important for our youth to
know that when these Nixon thru Bush Republicans talk about being conservative, they are
talking about others being conservative. When they talk about being pro-life, they are
talking about their lives.
Lest we forget,
George W. Bush was president when the World Trade Center was destroyed and Osama bin
Laden, the mastermind of this sixteen-man invasion, was a friend of the George H.W. Bush
family. And it was the Bush family who made sure the bin Laden family was quickly flown
out of harms way after the fact. Here, I will let Bush explain his family’s concern
about bringing this terrorist to justice: "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no
idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." -G.W.
Bush, 3/13/02
After these words left Bush’s mouth, had Congress
been anything but self- serving hypocrites, Bush would have been impeached immediately.
Had they done so, a million or more people, 4,000 of them young Americans, would still be
alive. The Secret Service can lock me up and keep me locked up if it pleases them, but not
in a thousand years could Al-Qaeda devalue our flag and dollar like Bush and his
accomplices have. The offices of the President and Vice President are powerless to change
the character of the people voters send to occupy these offices. When you send Goering and
Himmler mentality to the President and Vice President's offices, there is no reason to expect
other than a Goering and Himmler administration.
Even though I have spent
every dime I could get my hands on since 1976 campaigning against the Bush dynasty, I do
sincerely apologize for George W. Bush, the worst president in the history of this
country. And I hope that after he leaves office, our country will once again make
understanding, principles, and character its first line of defense because as we now know,
jet fighters and aircraft carriers are no match for hatred.
