In addition to this being Memorial Day, the month of May is Military Appreciation Month. This follows Month of the Military Child in April. Upcoming in November is Month of the Military Family. I suppose that soon enough every month will be designed something related to the military.

I didn’t celebrate Military Appreciation Month. I didn’t read President Obama’s proclamation. I didn’t thank any soldiers for their service. I didn’t knowingly shake the hand of anyone in the military. I didn’t visit anyone in a VA hospital. I didn’t visit a war monument or memorial. I didn’t visit a military cemetery. I didn’t fly the American flag outside of my house. I didn’t attend a church service where members of the military were recognized. I didn’t attend any “tribute to the troops” celebrations. I didn’t attend a USO comedy show like President Obama did. In fact, I not only didn’t recognize Military Appreciate Month, I don’t appreciate the military.

I don’t appreciate the military making widows and orphans.

I don’t appreciate the military invading other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military claiming to be a global force for good.

I don’t appreciate the military opening up combat roles to women.

I don’t appreciate the military flying jets over sporting events.

I don’t appreciate the military wanting a higher budget.

I don’t appreciate the military preying on vulnerable high school students.

I don’t appreciate the military claiming to defend our freedoms.

I don’t appreciate the military occupying other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military reciting vile and filthy cadences.

I don’t appreciate the military garrisoning the planet with troops.

I don’t appreciate the military making Americans hated around the world.

I don’t appreciate the military launching preemptive strikes.

I don’t appreciate the military enforcing no-fly zones in other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military fighting immoral wars.

I don’t appreciate the military providing disaster relief in other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military spreading democracy at the point of a gun.

I don’t appreciate the military bombing other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military recruiting gullible teenagers.

I don’t appreciate the military fighting unnecessary wars.

I don’t appreciate the military building overseas bases.

I don’t appreciate the military wasting millions of gallons of fuel.

I don’t appreciate the military killing civilians and dismissing it as collateral damage.

I don’t appreciate the military providing humanitarian aid in other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military fighting foreign wars.

I don’t appreciate the military unnecessarily sending Americans to their deaths.

I don’t appreciate the military engaging in offense instead of defense.

I don’t appreciate the military bombing other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military rebuilding infrastructure in other countries after destroying it.

I don’t appreciate the military acting as the president’s personal attack force.

I don’t appreciate the military supporting a network of brothels around the world.

I don’t appreciate the military being the world’s policeman, fireman, and social worker.

I don’t appreciate the military intervening in other countries.

I don’t appreciate the military bombing, maiming, and killing under the flag of the United States.

I don’t appreciate the military blindly following orders.

I don’t appreciate the military fighting unjust wars.

I don’t appreciate the military advertising on billboards.

I don’t appreciate the military fighting senseless wars.

I don’t appreciate the military carrying out an aggressive, reckless, and belligerent U.S. foreign policy.

I don’t appreciate the military sponsoring race cars.

I don’t appreciate the military creating terrorists and insurgents because of its interventions.

I don’t appreciate the military carrying out drone strikes that regularly miss their targets.

I don’t appreciate the military changing foreign regimes.

I don’t appreciate the military advertising on television.

I don’t appreciate the military fighting wars that are not constitutionally declared.

I don’t appreciate the military lying to potential recruits.

I don’t appreciate the military unleashing sectarian violence in the Middle East.

I don’t appreciate the military making us less safe because of its interventions.

I don’t appreciate the military going where they have no business going.

I don’t appreciate the military bombing wedding parties in Afghanistan.

Fifty is enough. I think you get the point why I don’t appreciate the military.

If the things I have listed are true, and I have no doubt that they are, then why do so many people who ought to know better—including some libertarians—still go out of their way to try to find something to appreciate about the military? Are they military idolators?

I might appreciate the military if it actually defended the United States, secured U.S. borders, protected U.S. soil, guarded U.S. shores, patrolled U.S. coasts, and enforced no-fly zones over U.S. skies instead of doing these things in other countries. I might appreciate the military if it were a global force for good instead of evil. I might appreciate the military if it actually defended our freedoms.

I grew up on military bases so when I was young I met many men who lost friends in combat. I met a man who was blinded and married his old girl friend. My step-father had 8 survivors in his company. When I was quite young, I tried to tell these men that there was no Holocaust. And then there was the Korean war. Even before it was over I knew it was a fraud. The Jews gave away north Korea after the war so Stalin could start the Korean war. And then there was the Vietnam war. The Jews wanted us to lose the war so they could launder a trillion dollars a year in drugs and get whites to take drugs. Israel also wanted to get nuclear weapons. Israel did 911 and blamed it on Arabs. I blame Israel and the Jewish Lobby more than I do the military.

You put it all in a nutshell there, Horse.

For centuries they've led men down the garden path to war. Now they want to take our women folk.

The next disaster will be huge, and the peeps I think will finally figure out who's been dragging them into the shit. There will be a reckoning, you can bet on that.

Sadly, I don't believe that the sheep will ever awaken. I hope that I'm proven wrong.

Hey, Lod. I share your skepticism.

But I think there are world rocking events in the offing. It seems the Witch has gone many a bridge too far and will soon be indicted. There are already rumbles, rumors and leaks forthcoming as there were in the days before Nixon's impeachment was threatened in the House. There's word that the FBI is going after not only Hillary's emails, but after the Clinton Foundation as well. The charges said to be under consideration will name Crooked Bill as well as the PIAPS. We're hearing that RICO is going to be invoked, and the earthquake set in motion will be accompanied by political aftershocks not seen since the days of Richard Nixon.

Under RICO, the sections most relevant in this case will be section 1503 (obstruction of justice), section 1510 (obstruction of criminal investigations) and section 1511 (obstruction of State or local law enforcement). As in the case with Richard Nixon after the Watergate Break-in, it’s the cover-up of a crime that will be the Clintons’ downfall. Furthermore, under provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201, the Clinton Foundation can be held accountable for improprieties relating to bribery. The FBI will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that through the Clinton Foundation, international entities were able to commit bribery in exchange for help in securing business deals, such as the uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan.

There will be enough shake, rattle and roll to unhinge the Easter lib establishment and maybe begin to wake the peeps from their slumber.
