What folks joining military service on their government's thirst for wars should ask themselves

Worth a read.... especially by those parents who push their offspring into the armed forces just  because it's a "family tradition" and also by those who are looking for government jobs  just because it would mean an income and an attractive pension.  Is your life worth it?  Is the life-long guilt of having killed strangers (only if you are a conscientious person) worth the money from your lying and war-loving government elite?   There are too many questions, especially questions of conscience that you should be asking yourself before you sign up to join the war machine.  

On the other hand if you are a born killer, go for it.  War is meant for psychos like you anyway.

Selling Murder as The Greater Good

 What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood. – Aldous Huxley

 
War is the scourge of mankind, the death of sanity, and oftentimes exists when armies of consenting soldiers band together in a military formed and controlled by those among us bent on killing for profit and power. War can only be justified for actual self-defense in a time of aggressive invasion. Sadly, today’s U.S. wars are pure aggression, offensive in nature, and not waged due to any foreign invasion.

What could drive soldiers to kill simply on orders from the state? Why would normal men risk all for the murderous desires of others?

There are many factors of course but the primary incentive necessary for men to voluntarily risk their lives in war boils down to a dangerous ideological mindset referred to as “the greater good.”  This refers to the notion that one is killing not for himself, but for the benefit of community, country, or the entire human race. This can be disguised as patriotism, nationalism, or love of country, but those false justifications are purposely embedded into the weak minds of brainwashed citizens throughout their lifetimes. Some progressive leftists describe the greater good as “actively participating with accountability in the positive growth of social, economic, and political change. “ This is absurd, and is meaningless poppycock. Wars are sold to the common man by using fear and guilt as motivations, all under the guise of this idiotic politically correct ideology.....
