soldiers or pawns !! ( Archived) (35)

redo The way our government sees it at any price.

Only in today’s world?? Get real, soldiers always have been used as pawns, especially those that serve in any State military, which does not allow for dissent or questioning ‘orders’. After a few years in ‘regular’ armies, I quit out of sheer disgust and went free-lance which while technically we were still being used as pawns, at least we had a free choice to opt out; cop-out or play our joker as it were and stage our own coup against a company/ cartel or some bloody dictatorship bent on slaughtering its own poor people before heading for the casinos in Montevideo, Macao or Monte Carlo with all the wealth they could carry.
After all of my experiences, my opinion is that it would be a much better and safer world for most peoples if governments had no military to use, with no bombs to drop as their ‘foreign policies’. Perhaps one day people will evolve to the point of allowing all other peoples of this world to be free and simply live out their lives in peace and as much prosperity they can develop. This evolving, would also necessitate the end of all political parties as we now understand them; they are mere tools of a State to vote for and encourage war on others. Reasons do not really matter; only aggressive expansion of control matters; States only want Empires as do business cartels. The everyday peoples of this world do not; they only want to be left alone to make a living without being harmed or having to go off and help murder others in some far-away country for next to nothing money or health benefits. It simply is not worth it. And, sure, I took their moneys and sometimes a ‘bonus’, more often than not, they just left us to rot. This is ‘normal’ so we expect it and plan accordingly. And they pay one way or another. In global affairs, the independents, free- serving ‘mercs’ are the proverbial ‘jokers’ in the deck; the ultimate ‘wild-cards’ that people whom God as abandoned and can only be defended by the likes of us can play. I made my money, survived, exiled and still pay for it in several ways.

What??? None of my family are likely to join the army, and I'm certainly not going to.

Given that we're not likely to travel to a country where those savages are, it's very unlikely that a beheading video of us would appear.

Obviously you didn't mean this for me but My two Uncles who served and fought during WW1&2 were gased but I didn't see it happen but it still hit home for me.I learned about tracing my ancestry.
