This video brought tears to my eyes, this soldier speaks the truth, I wish many more were like him
Admiral Ward went on to explain that the one common objective of CFR members is "to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the United States... Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government," Ward added.
"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long." "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockerfellers 2002 "Memoirs" ISBN 0-679-40588-7 Chapter 27 "Proud Internationalist" Page 405:
"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world if you will. If thats the charge I stand guilty and I am proud of it."
"...the new world rises upon our vision....We have vindicated the right of social control....There must be developed a national spirit of service....The natural resources of the nation must be socialized...The state must socialize every group...Men must learn to have world patriotism. World patriotism must be a faith....There is no more justice for the claim of absolute sovereignty on the part of a nation than on the part of an individual....The only alternative is World Federation...with a world parliament, an international court, and an international policy force...Men must have an international mind before there can be a world federation. They must see and affirm that above the nation is humanity. Internationalism must first be a religion before it can be a reality and a system."
the nation-state is becoming less and less competent to perform its international political tasks...These are some of the reasons pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a new world order...Sooner perhaps than we may realize...there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of the free world.

I could MAYBE accept him joining as an officer after graduating.

My son approached me last week to inform me that he is interested in joining the Marine's after he completes his sophomore year.
I slowly walked over to him, slapped him on the back of the head...
That was the first and hopefully the last time I will ever have to physically touch my son in anger.
Maybe some of the vets posting can explain to me why an intelligent, career oriented, straight A student would suddenly want to....

What, you have some sort of problem with your son being an enlisted swine?
And you think that Marine officers don't lead from the front? Just as much, if not more, danger for them as the rest of the guys in the platoon he's leading.
If the kid wants to join the Corps, good on him.

Mandate?? Were they FORCED to go there?
And WHO chose the spot really??
You seem to make the treatment of the Palistinians sound a lot like the treatment of the Jews in the past..
Therefore wouldn't you expect the Jews to sympathise with their plight instead of fencing them in and bombing them?

Hopefully, not a lesson learned too late [for you] it will be interesting to see what he decides to do after your reaction, but I suspect that may be the last time your son will be coming to you to discuss critical decisions, affecting his future...

Maybe some of the vets posting can explain to me why an intelligent, career oriented, straight A student would suddenly want to give his life away for a cause that does not even exist. He seems to have forgotten all of the conversations we have had over the years about the deception governments and politicians have tried to hammer into our psyche that war=peace. There is absolutely no logic in his thinking. I could MAYBE accept him joining as an officer after graduating.

No, if you feel the war is right then you're wrong? Not a #ing hero?
Jeez I can't believe it still takes a genius to work out that ONE OF THE MOST OBJECTIVE TRUTHS we have is that HURTING PEOPLE IS NOT OK; isn't that why half of us are here?

I'm going to cool off for awhile before I regret replying to your reply, Mr. Porn Star. For your information, my son is not a kid, he is a man.

A short speech from a US soldier after serving over seas. He speaks about his experience with the war and how he really feels about what is going on. It is a sad story. More people in the military need to wake up to this. And no, I am not "against the troops", I'm against the people who deploy them. And so is this guy.
