How the Neocons Treat Veterans

This is the side of the news that the mainstream media will NEVER cover. The neocons backed by the establishment calculatingly fabricate new wars and expect you to offer your life for their war games. Rarely is the true motive protecting the nation. Veterans deserve the utmost respect, especially from those in the establishment who rely on these brave men and women to maintain their global standing. Militaries target young men before they graduate high school with promises of an easier future, paid housing, health benefits, paid schooling, and much more. Yet, these very people have no concern or respect for the men and women who proudly serve.

At the commencement of every military funeral, the widow or mother of the fallen soldier is presented with a flag and told the following:

“On behalf of the President of the United States, [the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy or the United States Air Force] and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service.”

The wounded Marine in the clip above discusses his interaction with Commander in Chief Joe Biden, who visited his bedside after a horrific injury left him with amputated limbs. Biden offered no condolences but used the opportunity as a public relations stunt to appear sympathetic to the men he willingly sends off to battle. The mother of this Marine was furious and told the president that he better take care of her son the way that her son gave everything for his country. Joe Biden leaned over and whispered in his ear, “What do you want?”

Imagine the disrespect of having the commander-in-chief visit your bedside only to ask you what you wanted, offering no condolences to you or your loved ones. “I just got blown up; I just saw my friends die in front of me; I just want to be myself,” the Marine wanted to reply.

Yet, we have leaders proudly speaking on behalf of NATO, stating that they are willing to send in troops at a moment’s notice. Why should they risk their lives? One could understand the patriotism of protecting one’s country if that were the premise. Military recruitment is at an all-time low because they expect these men and women to protect their foreign interests while fighting endless battles.

“What do you want?” should be the military’s new recruitment message. These neocons simply do not care that they are destroying lives and dismantling families for their war games.
