The veterans who helped commit a crime against humanity with an aggressive US war against Iraq, who helped in the murder by sanctions, bombs, depleted uranium, bullets of more than a million people and the destruction of an ancient society, who fought for Exxon and McDonald-Douglas and the empire, are feeling that their “sacrifices” were not, after all, worth it. Folks. as Ron Paul’s favorite antiwar song points out, the politicians and the generals and the munitions manufacturers can’t do it alone. They need the soldiers, and if young men refuse to fight wars of aggression, there wouldn’t be any more of them.

Sanctimonious coward... Let someone else stand up and forfeit their life to the government. Not Rockwell, he pays his taxes every year, out of fear, to hire young men to kill for his government that he voted for. Let Rockwell man up, refuse to pay his taxes, lead the parade, let him become a martyr, be a man go to prison for life, show the soldiers how it is done. Dumb bastard, pass the buck, point fingers elsewhere.
Sing it brother.
I pay my taxes every year, out of FEAR. If I refuse they put me in prison, take my home. I am not about to tell someone else to man up while I pay taxes to hire young men to kill for a government that I bow to.
Soldiers with a conscience take all the risk here, not Mr. Safe. I like Rockwell but I too question his methods at times.
If we did not HIRE THE YOUNG TO FIGHT OUR ENDLESS WARS, we would draft the very same young men. Americans opted to end the draft, hire the young to do the killing. Then Rockwell and the likes, have the audacity to tell their EMPLOYEES to man up, defy the government. Let Rockwell and others get out front, lead the parade, defy this government, refuse to pay taxes, go to prison.
If I refuse they put me in prison, take my home. I am not about to tell someone else to man up while I pay taxes to hire young men to kill for a government that I bow to. Amen. I witnessed what christine and her husband went through enough so that I do not want to replicate their experiences. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Indeed... If government cannot get blood from the turnip, the turnip can be crushed and destroyed. The only man that can bring a STANDOFF with the government, is the man that has nothing, owns nothing, does nothing, he is free to roam. I recall the hobos of the Great Depression, they were the last free men in this country. Colorful characters that showed up every summer, riding the rails, departing South with advent of cool weather.
Amen
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
