    So just wondering, if any of you guys have served in the military, and what was it like?

    Regardless of how you feel about the wars overseas, I think it's important to recognize the bravery of those who put themselves in harms way. I implore you guys if you know anyone who has serviced in the military to thank them for their service.

    The first thing I did today was thank my uncle, who served in Iraq/Kuwait in the early 90's, and then Iraq again from 2003-2007. I was saddened to find out that I was the first in the family to even call or text him.

    I also want to thank Bradley Manning for his service. Has been in prison for 903 days, without a formal trial. Regardless of what he is accused of having done, no one, especially a US soldier, should be treated the way he has been treated.

    You can read about his treatment HERE
    And write him HERE. I plan to thank him for his service in Iraq.

    The main website is: Bradley Manning Support Network

    I don't feel the need or desire to thank soldiers for fighting in wars that have nothing to do with me. The US military fulfills the desires of the elite, not the needs of the people.

    Fair enough.

    I feel the need to recognize the service of people in my family, because that's just what a good family member does, in my opinion.

    Bradley Manning deserves his own day.

    As for the employees of the US military, I can only say I hope that you know what you are doing, and if you do, what the hell are you doing in there?

    This is no longer your Uncle Sam's military. This one belongs to Rothschild Inc.

    Celebrate Veteran's day by pointing out that all wars have been fought for one reason only.

    Population Control.

    Everyone knows it was about money more so then population control. Iraq and Afghanistan combined didn't even dent 1% of the population(I think, not great at math). It just seems if the point of war was population control more then money then why are we not at war with China? Population control is merely a secondary benefit, money is the real reason for war.

    Money is population control.

    The real war is on the soldiers themselves, while serving they will be subject to experimentation, inferior medication and malnutrition that will probably alter their dna for life and may well contaminate their offspring. Exposure to trauma, and chemicals they aren't even aware of, is par for the military course.

    That's population control, on future generations, and if you don't think the military is doing it, then go ahead and join up.

    Some very rich men have big iron gates with lion's and gargoyles to protect.

    Free the truth, and a lot less people will feel the need to kill protecting liars.

    That is what BM would do. Pat Tillman would agree.
