Support our military

Support our military! Of course, we should. How? Bring them all home; the sooner the better, from Iraq and from Afghanistan. Some say that it is unpatriotic to not “support” the military in Iraq. Let it be said that the best support is to bring them home to their families and loved ones. American can’t solve the problems of the world let alone the problems at home but, at least, all efforts should be directed to the solutions of the social ills at home.  

The world would be a better place without American and Canadian military personnel in far-off lands.

When I think of Americans wanting to spread democracy around the world, to make a better world, I feel like laughing. The USA and Canada have enough problems at home relating to poverty, health, race and religion. All expenditures to support the military efforts abroad would go a long way to improve the lives of North American peoples.

The mid-term elections might bring about some changes but if the American economy and the wealth of the rich are dependent upon war, then wars will continue. The American economy has always done well before, during and after conflict abroad.

Now there is a form of internal “conflict” with an unseen enemy. This enemy consists of terrorists and many millions of dollars have gone to protect the American people from these terrorists. There is fear and more than enough generated fear to provide more dollars to “fight the enemy”; one wonders where all of this will end.
