“I’m convinced that if you were brought up in a typical school with a typical American education and was taught lies and propaganda and was not taught basic moral and social values, then you have no business going to war.”
Might as well give all the weapons we have to the Ukraine as there won’t be anyone here to use them with that requirement of military entrance needs. You just about covered everyone in the US.
There is a certain amount of dysfunctionality in about every home in the country. Everything becomes disfunctional when it is part of an agenda. You might call it the chicken little syndrome.

The reason I make my observations is because I think back and compare today’s soldiers against the men who fought in World War II. Certainly there were a lot of shellshocked soldiers coming back. Certainly there were a lot of battle scarred veterans who never fully recovered. PTSD was a term we never heard of back then, but that is what many soldiers had.
But now? With tens of thousands of veterans who are suffering mental illnesses, veterans who are homeless, veterans who are depressed and even killing themselves at rates that are off the charts. Especially compared to veterans from 50 and 75 years ago. What changed?
I think we all know the answer to that. Our culture is pathetic. Unless and until America returns to its moral, fiscal, and social sanity, we will continue to fail the very men we send out to protect us.
